📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. While the pasta cooks, make the tuscan shrimp sauce (don’t forget to save 1/2 cup of pasta water).

Set a large non-reactive skillet over medium heat and add oil and butter. Swirl the pan to prevent butter from splattering. Once the butter is done foaming, add the shrimp in a single layer and sauté ⏱️ 1-2 minutes per side or just until cooked through then transfer to a plate.
