Ingredients 

  • 16 oz angel hair pasta
  • 1 1/2 lbs jumbo shrimp, thawed if frozen
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 shallots, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, diced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons Parsley, diced
  • 1 cup Parmesan, grated

Instructions 

  • Pat shrimp dry and season with garlic powder, 2 teaspoons herbs de Provence and kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Boil pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the pasta.
  • Melt butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced shallots sauté until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Add shrimp and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until pink and slightly curled. Do not overcrowd the pan, cook in batches if needed. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add garlic to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Then add white wine, 1 tsp herbs de Provence, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the wine reduces by half, then stir in 2 tbsps of butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a 1/2 cup of pasta water. Stir until butter is fully melted.
  • Place the drained pasta into the skillet and toss in the sauce. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add the remaining half cup of pasta water. Place the shrimp on top and garnish with parsley and parmesan.

Notes

  • If using frozen shrimp, make sure they are completed thawed before cooking.
