Ingredients

  • About a pound of raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1/2 a pound of Angel Hair Pasta
  • 3-4 Roma (plum) tomatoes sliced
  • About a Tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
  • About a Tablespoon Fresh basil chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 1/4 Cup White cooking wine
  • Parmesan Cheese if desired

Method-

If the shrimp is frozen, thaw and dry.

Cook pasta for 5-7 minutes in boiling water. Drain and cool. Toss with oil to coat and refrigerate.

In a sauté pan, heat olive oil. Sauté garlic for about 2 minutes being careful not to burn. Add shrimp and cook on each side for about a minute. Add white wine and flame so alcohol is burned off.

Add tomatoes and reduce liquid for about a minute. Add basil, salt and pepper and butter. Remove from heat. Stir in butter until melted. Add in pasta until hot. Finish with Parmesan cheese if desired!
