Preparation

Step 1

Contemporary Nonstick 3.5 qt. Pour and Strain Sauce Pan

All you have to do is boil up some pasta and saute your shrimp in a pool of garlic-butter-herb goodness. Once that’s ready, just toss in your pasta and some fresh greens. That’s it. It’s easy, quick, and comforting in any kind of weather!

Yield

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.

Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Stir in pasta, arugula and Parmesan until arugula begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Stir in shrimp.

Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
