Austin's Magic Shrimp Pasta

Last night we were excited to try a new recipe, some sort of shrimp pasta with onion, garlic, tomato, pancetta (ok we used a jar of real bacon bits), and fresh basil. The concept sounded foolproof but, well, it didn't quite work out. Austin was despairing after a long day of workiness so I dumped the ill-fated tomato mixture and assembled some butter, garlic, white wine, and lemon for him. He accepted the mission, threw in a little cayenne for good measure, and not only salvaged our dinner but made something remarkably delicious.

I know that the recipe itself isn't innovative but those ingredients go together for a reason. The resulting shrimp mixture tossed with linguine turned out to be one of those meals where at random intervals well after eating, we were still saying "that was sooooo good."

We'll definitely be making it again soon and will pay attention to quantities so I can post the recipe and a photo. I think it needs a different name, though.
