Paula's Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti

This is one of the easiest and most delicious recipes I have found in the family wheelhouse. It's my boyfriend's favorite thing that I make (next to these awesome sour cream enchiladas I found on Pinterest). It takes about 15 minutes to make, from start to finish, so that's a positive as well. If you feel like eating something that tastes fancy but requires very little effort and time, here you go. This is also easily doubled for a crowd.

SHRIMP SCAMPI SPAGHETTI

8 oz. spaghetti noodles
3 T. butter or margarine
3 T. olive oil
1/2 lbs. shrimp, peeled (I buy frozen)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup grated Parmesan (Kraft from the can is not only acceptable but recommended)
1/4 c. chopped fresh dill (don't skimp here...the fresh dill is what makes the dish)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Prep spaghetti and drain. While the pasta is cooking, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Add shrimp and garlic. Cook and stir until shrimp are opaque. Combine spaghetti, shrimp mixture, Parmesan, dill, salt and pepper. Toss to mix. Serve warm in your most frou-frou bowl and refrigerate leftovers.
