Ingredients

2 pounds (17 to 21 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound angel hair pasta
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 lemons, zested and juiced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the shrimp on a sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well, spread them in 1 layer, and roast for 6 to 8 minutes, just until they're pink and cooked through.

Meanwhile, drizzle some olive oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add the angel hair, and cook 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.

Love it, Love it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is so easy and so wonderful. Shrimp come out perfectly and will cook them that way from now on. Did add a couple of... cloves of garlic and some chopped parsley to add a little color. Husband and daughter both loved it!! This will be a do again and again. Surely company worthy!!!Read more

Lemony Heaven
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A friend had given me several lemons and I was determined to use as many as possible. I went online to find a food network... recipe containing lemon and came upon this one. I found it absolutely delicious - the butter, lemon juice and zest combine to form a wonderful flavor. And, the shrimp were a snap to prepare. This will definitely become a 'go to' dish for me.

Shrimp was absolutely Delicious but RUINED by the sauce.
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

If you like eating straight lemon then you will like this recipe. The shrimp is absolutely delicious. If I EVER make it... again I will more than half the amount of lemon called for. My trashcan ended up eating this recipe because it was way way to tart!Read more

Shrimp was good-sauce was too lemony
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I'm not sure what happened but I zested and juiced the 2 lemons and the dish came out way too tart. The shrimp came out... great, though, not too tough, and good flavor. Perhaps the lemons were too big, but they seemed regular-sized to me. If I made it again I would use 1 lemon instead of 2 and maybe add some additional spices. Read more

Just Okay
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This pasta was okay...I added a clove of garlic after reading other comments. However, I still feel like it lacked the... flavor I usually find in Ina's recipes.Read more
