Hot and Spicy Shrimp and Pasta

Preheat the broiler.

In a large oven-proof saute pan, melt the butter and olive together over medium heat.

Stir in the minced garlic, white pepper, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and dried oregano into the butter mixture. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings.

When garlic is soft, add the peeled shrimp. Toss the shrimp to coat it with the oil mixture.

Stir in the lemon juice and and continue to stir the shrimp until it is pink and curled. Do not overcook.

Add the parsley, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese; toss to coat.

Place the saute pan under the hot broiler and cook until the cheese is melted, about 1-2 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Toss the hot and spicy shrimp mixture with the cooked pasta and serve with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
