How to Make It
Step 1
Devein shrimp, if desired.
Step 2
Prepare angel hair pasta according to package directions.
Step 3
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and garlic, and sauté 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in Italian-herb seasoning and Worcestershire sauce.

Reduce heat to medium. Add shrimp, and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink. Stir in lemon juice. Toss shrimp mixture with pasta, and sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.
Step 5
Note: For testing purposes only, we used Mrs. Dash Italian Medley Seasoning Blend. In the Test Kitchens, we prefer Wild American Shrimp for better flavor.

Agree with Doug that it lacks flavor. Maybe add a splash or two of white wine to the lemon juice at the end.

I made this recipe and can't even believe how easy and flavorful it was. It is definitely going into my meal cycle. I added a lil extra garlic & onion seasoning :) I also used frozed pre-cooked shrimp which cut down on cook time.

Not a lot of flavor here, just calories!

This was a terrific recipe. Very easy, just what I was hoping for in taste. Even my 6 year old picky eater loves it! I made it once for our family to test it, and then for family and company the next week, served with a salad and french bread. Everyone raved about it. PS I used a little more shrimp than called for.
