1. Put a large pan on high heat with enough water to cook pasta and add 1 tablespoon of salt.

3. Start making the sauce while the pasta is cooking.
4. Put a wok or a large non-stick skillet on medium to low heat and melt the butter.
5. Add the shrimp and sauté for a minute, just until they turn pink. If you cook any longer than that, they will shrink and get a rubbery texture. Remove them to a plate and set them aside.
