Add in 3 tbsp of butter chopped into cubes so it will melt down quickly while stirring.

Turn the shrimp after about a minute or until the underneath of the shrimp is pink. Once the shrimp has poached in the butter for about 2 minutes, add in the chopped rosemary, thyme and pasta. Garnish with parsley, lemon slices and juice and lastly….dig in and enjoy!
