Instructions:
Boil Pasta: In a large pot, boil water and cook spaghetti noodles until tender. Add salt, a few drizzles of olive oil, and fresh herbs to the boiling water. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water for later use, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Prepare Shrimp: While the pasta is boiling, rinse the shrimp and set aside.
Cook Shrimp: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they start to turn pink and begin to curl.
Add Garlic: Introduce minced garlic to the skillet and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the shrimp are fully pink and curled.
Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the shrimp. Drizzle with olive oil and add Italian seasoning, fresh ground pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste.
Adjust Consistency: Gradually add the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency of the sauce, ensuring the pasta is well-coated but not swimming in liquid.
Toss and Serve: Continue to toss all ingredients in the skillet until everything is thoroughly combined and heated through. Serve hot.
