1 lb 16/20 jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined then patted very dry
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper
12 oz gluten free spaghetti or regular if not GF
1/4 cup butter
3 cloves garlic pressed or minced
1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh herbs I use an equal mix of fresh parsley, basil, and chives

Preheat oven to 400 degrees then lightly spray a half baking sheet with nonstick spray, or line with a piece of parchment paper. Place shrimp on the baking sheet then add 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, dried basil, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and toss with your fingers to coat. Spread shrimp out on the baking sheet then set aside.
Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to a boil then generously salt the boiling water. Add pasta to the pot then cook until al dente and drain. At the same time, place shrimp into the oven to roast for 8-9 minutes or until cooked through — do not overcook.
When pasta has 2 minutes left until al dente, melt butter and remaining 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic then saute until light golden brown, 30 seconds. Add drained pasta and herbs then toss to coat. Taste then add salt if necessary. Divide pasta between plates then top with shrimp and serve.
