Garlic Shrimp Scampi

I've always loved Shrimp Scampi.  I usually always have shrimp in the house as well, so this is an easy dish when I don't feel like spending a lot of time cooking.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb linguine
2 tbsp butter
6 tbsp white wine
5 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Directions:

Cook pasta according to box. Drain.

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium low heat.  Add wine, cheese, garlic, parsley and salt and pepper.  Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Increase heat to medium and add shrimp to skillet.  Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until shrimp starts to turn pink.  Make sure not to overcook them.

Plate pasta and pour sauce ontop.  Add more Parmesan cheese if you would like.
