How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Shrimp

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce slightly reduces.
  5. Stir in the butter and red pepper flakes (if using).
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Stir in the chopped parsley.
  9. Serve immediately and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
