- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Meanwhile, drizzle some olive oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add the angel hair and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Quickly toss the angel hair with the melted butter, 1/4 cup olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and about 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Add the shrimp and serve hot.

This is a go-to recipe for me. I always have lemons at hand in the kitchen and fresh shrimp are a staple here in Georgia. I substitute whole wheat pasta for regular and use an olive oil spray instead of pouring olive oil directly on the fish. I cut back on the butter and olive oil in the sauce too, which doesn't hurt the flavor at all. DELICIOUS.

This recipe is quick, easy and delicious! I've made it twice now and both times it came out perfectly. Next time I will try roasting the shrimp with garlic as suggested by another reviewer. Thanks, Ina!

A KNOCK OUT SENSATION!! I followed this recipe to a "T" with one exception: I minced four cloves of garlic and sprinkled atop the shrimp before roasting. I loved the lemon punch of this recipe, and I'll forever roast my shrimp from this day forward. This was easy, fresh, and filling. There was plenty left for dinner the following night, too. I will most certainly make this again and highly recommend it!
