Shrimp Scampi with Artichoke Hearts!

So this week I have decided to make pasta again, because I feel like I haven't made pasta in a while. So this pasta is a yummy shrimp scampi with a little spice. I hope you enjoy.

What you will need:
2 tablespoons olive oil
5-8 tablespoons of butter
3 clovers of garlic, minced
1/3 cup dry white wine
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more if you like it spicy
cracked black pepper to taste
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled
1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 cup of freshly chopped basil
1 pound of linguine of angel hair pasta
 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
while you are making the scampi cook the noodles in a separate pan

In a skillet over medium high heat, add the oil and melt butter. 

 Add in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about one minute.

 Reduce to medium low and add in wine.

Add salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper, bring to a simmer and let cook in half.

 Drain and chop artichokes and peel shrimp.

 Add in the shrimp and artichokes, stirring occasionally until the shrimp is pink and hot.

 Add basil and Parmesan cheese cook for about one minute.

Pour over the cooked pasta and serve. I hope you enjoy! If you would like to leave a comment on any requests or anything that would be appreciated. Bon'Appetit!
