How to Make Amazing Angel Hair Pasta With Shrimp

  1. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 1 pound of shrimp and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
  2. Cook uncovered for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  3. Add 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup of dry white wine, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste to the skillet.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. While the sauce simmers, cook 1 (16 ounce) package of angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta.
  6. Add the cooked pasta and shrimp to the skillet. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.
  7. Serve immediately, topped with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
