Easy and Quick Lemon Shrimp With Angel Hair Pasta
You may think this is even better than dining out at a fancy restaurant!
Notes from our test kitchen; make certain to pat all shrimp dry using paper towels before using in this recipe othwise the water will mix with the lemon juice and reduce the flavor of this dish, do not use frozen thawed shrimp only fresh, use only fresh lemon juice
Servings 4
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
2 green onions, chopped
4-6 garlic cloves, finely chopped (do not mince finely, garlic lovers don’t be shy to add in more I use 8 cloves!)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or adjust to heat level)
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 pounds raw uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt and fresh ground black pepper (lots of pepper!)
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
cooked angel hair pasta (use as much as you like, I use about 12 ounces cooked)
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese (or use more)
Instructions:
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add in green onions, chopped garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and crushed chili flakes; cook stirring for 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium and add in shrimp; cook tossing for about 2-3 minutes or until all the shrimp turns pink (this will not take long).
Season with salt and lots of black pepper.
Toss in the cooked angel hair pasta.
Mix in the Parmesan cheese then pass more at the table.
