Ingredients

• 12 ounces angel hair pasta
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cups white wine (or chicken broth)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

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

While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and lemon juice. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze, and simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.

Step 6

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Add the drained angel hair pasta, along with the reserved pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, to loosen the sauce as needed.

Step 7

Toss everything together until evenly coated. Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Serve hot, topped with grated parmesan cheese, if desired.
