Notes
Some basic tips to get perfect Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta:
Garlic Butter Sauce: I've included both olive oil and butter in the sauce, but for the classic Garlic Butter Sauce, you can skip the oil.
Heat Level: While I've used paprika, pepper, and chili flakes to add some heat, don't hesitate to adjust the spice levels to your taste.
Pasta Options: Feel free to experiment with different pasta varieties like rotini, angel hair pasta, spaghetti, linguine, or any similar options for a unique twist on this recipe.
