Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
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.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet.
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.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the pasta. Toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and parmesan if desired.
