shrimp" saute" in garlic on fettuccini

Ingredients  2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil  salt pepper  Your favorite Italian dressing  about 3/4 lbs fettuccine  2 cloves garlic  1 lb large shrimps   2 springs of parsley 2 springs of dill  1/4 cup of dried tomatoes  the zest from 1/2 a lemon  1/2 a glass of white wine.  a sprinkle of red pepper flakes Directions In a medium pan heat the olive oil on medium heat. brown the shrimp till they are pink about 5 minutes. Brown them in batches do not crowd them In the same pan brown the garlic and the tomatoes add the white wine add the shrimps to the pan . Add the parsley and the chives. and the lemon zest keep warm Cook the pasta in a lot of  boiled salted water as indicated on the box. When the pasta is done drain it( Keep some of the water to add to the sauce if needed) Add the pasta to the shrimps. I make the same recipe without tomatoes but with cream and Parmesan cheese in the winter but this version is a lot better in warm weather. you may want to use linguine instead of fettuccine actually I like it better but I used what I had in my pantry! i always like to use wine to deglaze the pan but you could omit it and use a little chicken stock.
