How to make it

---

• mix the flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a small bowl. also, mince the garlic (or squeeze it through a garlic press) and mix it up with the and basil. set aside for step 3. and don’t forget to start the pasta.
• the next step is to dip the shrimp in flour, coat well, and lightly fry them on both sides in a skillet with olive oil and butter until golden. a few minutes per side should do. (note: the reason i don’t just dip them all in flour and saute them all at once is that the flour coating tends to get loose and fall off...)
