12 oz Thin spaghetti or angel hair 3 tb Olive oil 3 tb Butter 4 Cloves garlic, minced 3 tb Minced shallots 1/2 c White wine 1/2 c Bottled clam juice 1/2 ts Coarsely gr. black pepper 1 lb Medium shrimp, peeled and de 1/2 c Freshly minced parsley Salt
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for cooking the pasts. Add salt and
pasta and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until al dente. Drain and return to
the pot to keep warm.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil and butter in a large skillet.
Add garlic and shallots and saute for 2 minutes over low heat, stirring
often. Raise heat to medium, add wine, clam juice and pepper and simmer for
2 minutes. Add shrimp, spreading them evenly over the skillet, and simmer
over med-low heat for about 3 min, until cooked through. Stir in parsley.
Taste and add salt if needed. Pour sauce over pasta in the pot. Toss
gently, but thoroughly, then spoon out onto serving plates. I serve this
with pieces of Cuban or French bread to dunk in the sauce. Enjoy,
