This is a very elegant dish good for a nice simple meal. Tasty and pretty enough for company, but my husband and I enjoy it as a nice weekend meal. The brining of the shrimp takes the longest, but is very easy and improves the taste and texture of the shrimp.

Time 2h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

¾ cup kosher salt
1 gallon cold water
2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp (21 to 30 per pound)
1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
¼ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic
⅓ cup white wine
¼ cup lemon juice
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Dissolve the kosher salt in 1 gallon of water in a large pot. Add the shrimp, and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours. Drain and pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp, white wine, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until the shrimp is no longer translucent in the center, about 6 minutes. Stir in the black pepper, parsley, and lemon zest before tossing with the angel hair pasta.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help to prevent the shrimp from crowding each other and steaming instead of searing.
  • Season the shrimp generously: Shrimp have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them generously. Use a variety of spices, such as garlic, lemon, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a covered dish in a warm oven.

Conclusion:

Tangy Lemon Garlic Shrimp is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful lemon garlic sauce that is bursting with flavor. Serve the shrimp over rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
