How To Make Easy Shrimp Scampi Pasta:
- SAUTE SHRIMP – In a skillet with hot olive oil, cook the shrimp for a couple of minutes per side. Careful not to walk away from the pan as shrimp can quickly overcook and turn rubbery. Once they look pink, transfer them out of the skillet and to the side.
- START THE SAUCE – Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet, and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and white wine.
- AROMATICS AND BUTTER – Season the sauce with lemon pepper, red chili flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley. Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat until it is reduced by about half, then swirl in the butter.
- ASSEMBLE – Add the shrimp back in, swirl them around, then turn off the heat. Transfer cooked angel hair pasta in and toss everything together. Garnish with extra parsley and a squeeze of lemon before serving.
