Ingredients
Scale
1 pound angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup dry white wine
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in 6 pieces
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water, and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes and sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in the shrimp and sauté for 3 minutes on each side. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet, increase the heat to high, and cook until slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the butter, add a ladleful of the pasta cooking water, and return the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute to heat through, then remove from the heat.
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet along with the parsley and lemon zest; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lemon slices.
