RECIPE BY Southern Living

Capture the essence of a classic Italian-style dish in 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound peeled, large raw shrimp (31/35 count)
  • 1 (12-oz.) package angel hair pasta
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt-free Italian-herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

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.

Simple, fast, flavorful, and addictive- For extra speed, I've used onion powder, garlic powder, and pre-cooked frozen shrimp added near the end. Used only 1 tablespoon of butter for this version since I wasn't actually cooking the onion and garlic in it. Still amazing.

lovely- I used shell on shrimp, made a "stock" from the discarded shells, and added it to the pasta water. excellent.

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

This was a wonderful recipe. It was easy to follow. I have never cooked shrimp before and it turned out perfect! Next time I use the recipe, I will either cut the amount of pasta in half or double the shrimp portion. My family really likes a lot of shrimp. I peeled and deveined the shrimp ahead of time and it was a super quick meal. I think I will use this as a quick supper instead of a special occasion type meal. It was on the table so quickly my daughter barely had time to set the table and make the salad. :)
