Ingredients

• 12 oz angel hair pasta
• 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 8 oz button mushrooms (sliced)
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.33 cup chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tbsp parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer and let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to slightly reduce.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet.

Step 7

Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the pasta. Toss gently to combine.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and parmesan if desired.
