1/2 cup white wine
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup basil leaves, roughly chopped
1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese

Steps

1

In a large skillet, combine the butter and olive oil. Heat on medium, until the butter is melted, occasionally swirling the pan to combine.
2

Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until softened (do not let it brown!).

Add the shrimp to the pan and stir to coat. Cook, flipping the shrimp, until just barely pink on both sides.
4

Pour in the white wine and season with salt and pepper. Stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the basil. Cook for 10 minutes.
5

Sprinkle the gorgonzola evenly over the pan. Stir to combine. Then, add the cooked pasta and toss to coat.

Serve immediately.
