Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Meanwhile, remove the large stems from the basil and wash the leaves. Pat dry with a paper towel. Chop the leaves in a food processor. Whip the butter in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add garlic, salt, pepper, Parmesan and Romano cheeses and the basil. Mix well. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator. Melt the basil butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and saute for about 2-3 minutes. Serve over pasta with some extra Parmesan cheese to pass around the table.
