How to Make Shrimp Alla Aglio

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 1 pound of pasta (linguine, spaghetti, or fettuccine work well) and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and sauté for 2 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add 1 pound of shelled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional), 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
  6. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the shrimp mixture. Toss to combine.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
