2. Heat olive oil in a large pan. Briefly cook garlic and shallots until fragrant, but do not let it brown

4. Push shrimp to the side of the pan  (so it doesn’t over cook). Melt in 2-3 tsp of butter and add a generous glug of white wine
5. Squeeze lemon juice. Stir sauce to combine and reduce 
6. Add in chopped parsley, and cooked pasta
