    While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

  4. 4

    Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp temporarily if needed to prevent overcooking while making sauce.

    Toss the drained spaghetti and shrimp back into the pan with the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
