How to Make Sauteed Shrimp With Lemon Caper Cream Sauce On Angel Hair Pasta

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of shrimp and saute for 2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and (optional) 1 tablespoon of capers. Saute for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and simmer until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Reduce heat as needed to prevent scorching.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley (optional).
  6. Cook 8 ounces of angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with the shrimp and lemon caper cream sauce.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your restaurant-quality meal!
