Lemon Pepper Shrimp over Angel Hair Pasta

I could easily call this Shrimp Scampi over Angel Hair made with fresh lemon, BUT, I'm cheap ;) so I used lemon pepper. You won't know the diff and everyone loves it so...

You need:

*a 12oz. bag of medium cooked, frozen shrimp (thaw it out)
*half a box of angel hair pasta
*2 tablespoons of flour (or cornstarch to thicken)
*1/2 stick of butter
*1/4 cup of olive oil
*a big garlic clove
*lemon pepper
*parsley
*garlic salt

                             Get a big pot of water and add some salt and oil and get it boiling...

 

Get your shrimp and pinch off their tails...

 

 

Add the shrimp juice from the bag into the boiling water for extra flavor...

 

 

Add the shrimp to the boiling water and let them swim for about a minute. I just do cuz I feel like it adds more flavor to the pasta water, but you don't have to...

 

 

Take them out after a minute and set them to the side or they will get rubbery...

 

 

Cook your pasta...

 

 

Grab a pan and melt down the butter, add the oil, and the minced garlic clove and cook it on med-low heat so you don't burn the garlic...

 

 

then add in your shrimp, lemon pepper, parsley and let it simmer for like 3 minutes...

 

 

Mix together 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of hot water until it's smooth...

 

 

Add it to the saucy shrimp and stir it up fast or it won't get creamy, it will get chunky...

 

 

plate up some pasta and add the shrimp on top with the sauce and OMG! SO good!

 

Xoxo, Nay
