Lemony Garlic Shrimp with Pasta
This is a very elegant dish good for a nice simple meal. Tasty and pretty enough for company, but my husband and I enjoy it as a nice weekend meal. The brining of the shrimp takes the longest, but is very easy and improves the taste and texture of the shrimp.
π Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Dissolve the kosher salt in 1 gallon of water in a large pot.
Add the shrimp, and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours.
Drain and pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil.
Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Meanwhile, melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Stir in the garlic, and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the shrimp, white wine, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.
Cook and stir until the shrimp is no longer translucent in the center, about 6 minutes.
Stir in the black pepper, parsley, and lemon zest before tossing with the angel hair pasta.
