Lemony Garlicky Shrimpy Pasta Recipe

Lemony Garlicky Shrimpy Pasta Recipe

I don't typically like shrimp, but it was the only protein in my freezer, so tonight we dined on a lemony pasta with shrimp, and Ladd and Asher and I agree - it's a winner! (Also, I stole this image from Albertson's. I was googling images, and there was so many cute blogs that had spent time on their photos, that I didn't want to steal any so....)

• Peeled and deveined frozen shrimp (I probably used about 25 shrimp). Mine were pre-cooked, so I just thawed them out in cold water, then sauteed them for a few minutes. I'm new to cooking with shrimp, so I'm not sure exact cooking times. Wait. I'm never sure about cooking times)
•  
• 1/2 package angel hair pasta
• 1/8 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1/3 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• Handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
• Sprinkle of cayenne, but wished I had red pepper flakes
• A few shakes of lemon pepper (my favorite!)
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Thaw Shrimp.
