ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND SNOW PEAS
This is a lovely pasta dish with a creamy sauce. Shrimp and Snow peas complement each others flavors very well. Shortcut note: I keep pesto frozen in my freezer to make this. I put the veggies in a handheld strainer and poach them in the same pot as the pasta is cooking in.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh shrimp, snow peas, and herbs will make a big difference in the overall taste of the dish.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to watch it carefully and remove it from the heat as soon as it's cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
- Use a large skillet to cook the pasta. This will help to ensure that the pasta cooks evenly and doesn't stick together.
- Add the shrimp and snow peas to the pasta towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before serving.
Conclusion:
Angel hair pasta with shrimp and snow peas is a light and flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The shrimp and snow peas are cooked in a simple garlic and butter sauce, and the angel hair pasta is tossed in the sauce until it is coated. The dish is then garnished with fresh herbs and served immediately.
