Take frozen shrimp out of the package and place in a bowl of cold water to thaw for 10 to 15 minutes.

Boil water in a pot and add salt to prevent it from overboiling.

Add spaghetti to the boiling water and let it cook for about 9 to 10 minutes.

Smash garlic cloves to peel them and place in a pot with a lid.

Chop the peeled garlic cloves and set aside.

In a separate pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat.

Add the chopped garlic to the melted butter and sauté.

Pour in about half a cup of dry white wine and let it reduce until half.

Add the thawed shrimp to the pot and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, flipping halfway through until they turn orange.

Drain the cooked spaghetti using a colander and add it directly to the shrimp and garlic mixture.

Turn the heat back up to medium to combine everything and let it simmer for a moment.

Plate the pasta and shrimp, twirling the pasta onto the plate and arranging the shrimp on top.
