Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- as needed water (for cooking pasta)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes while preparing the rest of the recipe.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (typically around 4-5 minutes). Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid, and add them to the skillet. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the reserved pasta water to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom. Toss in the cooked angel hair pasta and mix to coat in the buttery sauce.
Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet along with the chopped parsley. Toss everything together until evenly distributed and heated through.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
Transfer the shrimp and pasta to a serving platter or individual plates. Serve immediately and enjoy!
