How to Make Awesome Shrimp Over Pasta

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  2. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
  3. In a large zip-top freezer bag, combine 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined), and pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat your broiler. Arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Meanwhile, cook 1 pound of angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with a tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  7. Serve the broiled shrimp over the angel hair pasta. Garnish with extra parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
