Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Angel hair pasta
- 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 4 quarts Water for boiling pasta
- 1 tablespoon Salt for pasta water
Instructions
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water and cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions until al dente (about 4-5 minutes). Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and stir in the fresh dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until combined.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat it in the dill and lemon mixture. If the mixture seems dry, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and toss to combine with the pasta.
Divide the pasta and shrimp evenly among four plates. Optionally, sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your light and refreshing WW Dilled Shrimp with Angel Hair Pasta.
