If you’re looking for an easy pasta dish to wow your dinner guests, executive chef Dylan Shortridge of Society by EVO in Tempe shares his garlic shrimp recipe. Shortridge, previously with Bourbon & Bones and Pinnacle Peak Country Club, really likes this dish because it incorporates three of his favorite ingredients: garlic, onions and citrus.

The recipe is pretty straightforward, but Shortridge cautions against overcooking the shrimp and garlic. “I add the garlic right after the shrimp is done cooking and toss for 10-15 seconds to release the garlic’s fragrant smell,” he says.

About 90 percent of Society by EVO’s dishes include garlic, Shortridge says. So if you love garlic, you know what to do.
