ANGEL HAIR WITH SPICY SHRIMP
This recipe reminds me of a dish a friend of mine made for me while I was studying abroad in Italy. This version is out of REALSIMPLE's Oct. 2008 issue but my version leaves out the white wine.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta, drain, and return to pot. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. I strain the garlic and red pepper out after this portion because I only use those ingredients for flavor and do not like them included in the actual dish.
- Add shrimp and simmer until shrimp are opaque (If you use all ingedients, also add the wine and salt at this point), 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the butter until melted. Toss with the shrimp mixture.

YUMMY SPICY SHRIMP WITH ANGEL HAIR PASTA
This is one of my husband's favorites (mine, too!). We like the sweet and spicy combination of shrimp, peas, and hot pepper, but it is also good with broccoli, asparagus, or other vegetables, or by itself. We love this with a big green salad and a glass of Shiraz! I use pre-cooked shrimp for this, but you can also use raw - just add them a minute or two earlier to the peas. This looks more complicated than it is - we often rely on this recipe as a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Actual cooking time is only about 10-15 minutes, the prep time is marinading time.

GARLIC ANGEL HAIR SHRIMP
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.
