Provided by Pamela Leyva

Categories     Pasta and Noodles     Pasta by Shape Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
1 ½ medium lemons
1 cup chicken stock, or more as needed
2 tablespoons salted butter, divided
1 pound uncooked shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 teaspoon dried parsley, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 medium tomatoes, cubed
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Slice the whole lemon into circles, then cut circles in half. Juice the remaining half lemon and set aside.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough chicken stock to cover the bottom of the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon butter with shrimp and lemon slices. Add parsley, salt, and pepper; cook shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 4 minutes. Turn heat off, add tomatoes, and cover with a lid until the heat softens the tomatoes.
  • Drain pasta and return to its pan. Add shrimp and tomato mixture and mix to combine. You may take out the lemon slices and squeeze the juice out of them or simply keep them mixed in.
  • Add more chicken stock to cover the bottom of the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon butter, more parsley, and the reserved lemon juice. Let the butter melt and simmer, then pour sauce into the pasta along with Parmesan cheese. Stir until fully combined.

Tips:

  • Fresh is Best: Use the freshest shrimp possible for the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and Devein the Shrimp: If your shrimp are not already peeled and deveined, take the time to do it before cooking. This will make them easier to eat and will also help to remove any grit or sand.
  • Use a Large Skillet: A large skillet will help to prevent the shrimp from overcrowding and will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: A good quality olive oil will add a rich flavor to the sauce.
  • Add the Garlic and Butter at the End: Adding the garlic and butter at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Season to Taste: Be sure to season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve Immediately: Shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Pasta with shrimp and garlic butter sauce is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
