Instructions
Bring a 6 to 8 quart pot of salted water to a boil.Meanwhile, heat a good amount of oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat. Season shrimp with a little smoked paprika. Saut shrimp, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
Add garlic to oil remaining in skillet along with red pepper flakes, wine, capers, salt, and pepper and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, 1 minute.
Add butter to skillet. Once melted, stir in shrimp.
Remove skillet from heat.Cook pasta in boiling water until just tender, about 3 minutes for fresh pasta (follow packaged directions if using dry). Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander. Toss pasta well with shrimp mixture and parsley on medium heat briefly, adding some of reserved cooking water if necessary to keep moist.
Garnish with a little more parsley, some extra virgin olive oil and the chopped chives. Yum.
