Ingredients

• 12 oz pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine)
• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Add shrimp, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter.

5. Add sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside with the shrimp.

6. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in Kelchner's Lemon Dill Marinade & Sauce and red pepper flakes (if using). Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce needs thinning.
