Preparation

Step 1

In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the butter (the oil will keep the butter from burning). Once the butter has melted, add the stock. Allow the sauce to come to a slight boil. Then, sprinkle in the BASIL, salt, PEPPER, SHALLOTS and GARLIC. Toss the ingredients to mix well. Add the shrimp. They will cook quickly, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Once the shrimp have cooked, turn off the heat and place your cooked pasta into the pan with the shrimp. Sprinkle in the parsley. Toss everything together, divide between 4 plates and serve.
