How To Make shrimp fettuccine with garlic butter sauce

Step 1Cook pasta according to the box directions for al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water.

Increase heat to medium and add shrimp, cook until pink and opaque about 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste (I go light on the salt because the pasta water has alot of salt in it)
