Ingredients

Scale

8 ounces angel hair pasta
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink and opaque, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until fully cooked. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly reduces.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Remove from heat.
Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet and gently toss to combine with the shrimp and sauce.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
