  2. Add garlic, saute for approximately 30 seconds.
  3. Season shrimp (or chicken) with salt and pepper to taste, and add to the pan.

  6. If using both chicken and shrimp, decrease amounts to 1/2 lb of each.

  10. Pour over cooked fettucini or linguini, stir well, and serve with a slice of warm garlic bread and a tossed salad.
