Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the box directions.
- Heat oil and butter in a large skillet on medium heat.
- Saute the garlic until it starts to soften.
- Add the broth and shrimp.

- Add the lemon juice and the cooked pasta and mix well.
- Served topped with the parmesan cheese.
Notes
If you want to add a little heat to the dish, add some red pepper flakes when you soften the garlic.
I prefer fettuccine because it is a more substantial pasta, but you can use any pasta you prefer.
If you do not have a good source of fresh seafood, frozen shrimp work really well in this recipe. You will just need to thaw them the day before you want to make the scampi.
