GARLIC ANGEL HAIR SHRIMP



Garlic Angel Hair Shrimp image

This was inspired by one of my favorite restaurant pasta dishes. I keep the lemon separate until the end due to a picky family member, but you could add it earlier if everyone likes lemon. Do not use pre-cooked shrimp and don't overcook the shrimp.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta

½ cup diced onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¾ cup diced tomatoes
