Steps:
- Cook pasta in salted water according to directions listed on package (keep in mind it will only take about 4 minutes so I recommend adding the pasta to water when you begin cooking the shrimp), reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet, heat olive and butter over medium-high heat. Add shrimp (you can remove tails first if desired), season with salt and pepper and saute 2 minutes, then add garlic and saute until shrimp has cooked through, about 2 minutes longer.
- Toss drained pasta in with shrimp along with 1/3 cup reserved pasta water, lemon zest and lemon juice. Add more water 1 Tbsp at a time as needed. Toss in 2 Tbsp of each parsley and basil, then sprinkle top with parmesan cheese and remaining 1 Tbsp of each parsley and basil. Serve warm.

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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh shrimp: Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Properly clean the shrimp: Remove the shell and devein the shrimp. This will help to remove any grit or sand and make the shrimp more tender.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more tender.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cook quickly, so it is important to not overcook them. Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use high-quality pasta: Angel hair pasta is a thin, delicate pasta that cooks quickly and pairs well with the shrimp. Be sure to use a high-quality pasta made with durum wheat semolina.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the ideal texture for pasta dishes.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or chives, will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
