Shrimp Scampi with Angel Hair Pasta
Time: 10 minutes prep, 15 minutes cook
Servings: 4
Directions
- Soak shrimp in milk for 15 minutes. Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat.
- Combine flour, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and cayenne in a medium bowl. Dredge the shrimp until well coated. Fry shrimp, along with the whole garlic in oil until shrimp are golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Add more oil if necessary.
- Remove cooked shrimp and set aside.
- Leave garlic in pan, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Add wine, and lemon juice to the garlic in the pan and bring to a boil. Let wine reduce by half. Add cream and bring back to a boil, lower heat and reduce by half again. Add basil and tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes to slightly soften tomatoes. Remove from heat. Sauce will thicken upon standing. Serve sauce over pasta and place shrimp on top.
