Add the shrimp heads and shells to the pasta water.  Drain the pasta set aside, reserve the pasta water.  Get out a skillet, add the oil and butter, once the butter melts add the shrimp.  Cook for about 1-minute or until the shrimp starts to curl.  Turn the shrimp over, add the garlic, basil, salt, and black pepper.
