Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp (16/20 count)
2 lemons, halved
1/2 cup white wine
4 dashes hot sauce (I used tabasco), or more to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces angel hair pasta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Minced fresh parsley, for topping
Directions
- Boil water for the pasta and have it ready.
- Melt the butter and heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until the onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp, then stir and cook for a couple of minutes. Squeeze in the lemon juice. Add the wine, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Stir and reduce the heat to low.
- Throw the angel hair pasta into the boiling water. Cook until just al dente. Drain, reserving a cup or 2 of the pasta water.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the pasta and toss, adding a splash of pasta water if it needs to be thinned. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper if needed. Top with the grated Parmesan and minced parsley and serve immediately.
