2. While the pasta cooks,in a large cold skillet add the butter, olive oil, shallot, garlic, capers and red pepper flake. turn burner on to medium low and cook about 5 minutes or until the shallots and garlic are soft. Increase heat to medium and add shrimp, cook until pink and opaque about 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste (I go light on the salt because the pasta water has alot of salt in it)
