AMAZING ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SHRIMP



Amazing Angel Hair Pasta With Shrimp image

All I can say is this is "Amazing"! With shrimp, pasta, tomatoes, white wine and cream, how can you go wrong? Very easy to put together. Enjoy!

Provided by Marie

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons fresh parsley
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet over medium high heat, melt butter with the oil, then add the shrimp and garlic.
  • Cook uncovered for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally until shrimp are done.
  • Remove shrimp to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Add remaining ingredients to skillet except for 1/4 c of Parmesan cheese and the pasta.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Cook pasta and drain.
  • Toss shrimp and pasta into the skillet with sauce and distribute everything evenly.
  • Serve topped with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality shrimp: Opt for fresh or frozen shrimp that are deveined and peeled. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly translucent appearance.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink, but not overcooked. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the dish together. Choose a sauce that complements the shrimp and pasta, such as a creamy Alfredo sauce, a light tomato sauce, or a zesty lemon-butter sauce.
  • Add vegetables for extra nutrition: Feel free to add vegetables to your angel hair pasta with shrimp. Some good options include broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, and spinach.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or cilantro. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Angel hair pasta with shrimp is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create a delicious and impressive meal that will please everyone at the table.
