Categories: Pasta Seafood
Yield: 4 Servings
| 12 | oz | Thin spaghetti or angel hair |
| 3 | tb | Olive oil |
| 3 | tb | Butter |
| 4 | | Cloves garlic, minced |
| 3 | tb | Minced shallots |

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,
