My brother made this for us when he came to visit one time and it's one of our go-to seafood recipes.

6  cloves garlic, minced
1 pound peeled, deveined medium shrimp

Heat olive oil and butter in large skillet over medium heat until butter is melted.  Cook and stir the garlic in the butter and oil for 2 to 3 minutes.  Add shrimp and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.  Stir in the wine, lemon juice, red pepper, basil, and salt and cook another 1 minute.  Mix in the tomatoes and cook 1 minute more; remove from heat and transfer to the bowl with the pasta.  Sprinkle with cheese and parsley; toss until well mixed.
