Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 lemon, zested
1/3 pound baby shrimp, 300 count
1/4 cup dry vermouth or white wine, eyeball it
1/2 cup grape tomatoes
1/3 pound angel hair pasta, cooked to al dente
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chopped or snipped fresh chives

Directions

Get your pasta water going. Start the scampi sauce when you drop your pasta into boiling water to cook.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and melt the butter into it. Add shallots and cook a minute or 2, stirring constantly. Add lemon zest and shrimp and heat shrimp through, another minute or two. Add vermouth or wine and tomatoes. Toss another minute to heat the tomatoes through. Add cooked pasta to the pan and toss to coat evenly in sauce and to distribute the shrimp. Season liberally with salt and pepper and serve with chives to garnish.

Yumm-o
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I didn't use the lemon or shallots because I didn't have any. But I did use 1/4 white onion and 3 cloves of garlic chopped. ... I had to make a little extra sauce because the pasta was sticking together. But after the right seasoning of salt and pepper it was yumm-o! I don't typically like Rachel's recipes but this was the best I have made so farRead more

Nice and easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Very fast and overall a tasty dish, but to agree with some other reviewers, it could have been a little more flavorful. I... also added some dried red peppers and garlic, which saved it from being bland. I think next time I'd add a little extra lemon, pepper, and maybe even more garlic.Read more
