Shrimp Scampi

We decided to switch up our normal chicken dinner routine for some shrimp! I made my own scampi sauce and served everything on top of a pile of whole wheat thin spaghetti. It was absolutely delicious! The only thing was it wasn't super saucy. I add a little olive oil to the spaghetti but next time I think I will add a little more liquid to achieve my favorite super saucy finish.

Ingredients:
1 lb uncooked shrimp (I peeled mine to make it easier)
1 tbsp garlic minced
1/2 lemon squeezed for juice
2 tbsp butter
1/3 cup white wine
Parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Heat the butter over medium heat. When it becomes foamy add the shrimp.
Cooke the shrimp for a minute on each side. Then add garlic and continue to cook. Add in lemon juice and white wine. Stir until everything is mixed well.
After about two minutes add in the parsley and salt and pepper. Cook until done and then serve over pasta. Enjoy!!!
