Steps:
- Cook the spaghetti as directed on the box. While it is simmering, make the shrimp and sauce.

- Turn the heat up, then add the shrimp.
- The shrimp will only need to cook for about 4 or 5 minutes, so as soon as they turn pink, turn them over and make sure they are evenly cooked. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Add a little white wine (or water from the pasta that's cooking), and the other 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Stir well and remove from heat. Cover to keep warm until the pasta is ready.
