Ingredients
- 1 pound angel hair pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 lemon, juiced, plus 1/2 lemon, zested
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
Directions
Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water, over medium heat, and cook until al dente.
Meanwhile, heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Once shimmering and hot, add the shrimp and saute until just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and reserve. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, then saute for until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and white wine and raise the heat to high. Let the liquid reduce for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the butter, add a ladleful of the pasta cooking water and return the shrimp. Remove from the heat.
Drain the pasta in a colander, and add it to the skillet along with the chopped parsley and toss. Add the lemon zest and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

Loved this recipe! Especially the addition of the zest to the pasta. I never did that before, and it added a lovely flavor. I always try to use whole grain pasta, so my only substitution was whole grain thin spaghetti instead of angel hair. I am going to use this sauce in the future with pasta. Very easy, not greasy and super tasty! Thanks to the Neely's!

This is one of my favorite pasta dishes to make! Its quick, easy and always comes out delicious. I think I've made it about 3 or 4 times for multiple people, and every time its a hit!
The sauce is very light and minimal, which can be a good and a bad thing. I always make more sauce then the recipe calls for to remedy this problem.
I would definitely recommend this dish!
