Lemony Garlic Shrimp with Pasta

Prawn

This lemony garlic shrimp with pasta recipe makes a very elegant dish that's good for a nice, simple meal. It's tasty and pretty enough for company, but my husband and I enjoy it as a nice weekend meal. The brining of the shrimp takes the longest but is very easy and improves the taste and texture of the shrimp.

Ingredients

¾ cup kosher salt
1 gallon cold water
2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp (21 to 30 per pound)
1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
¼ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic
⅓ cup white wine
¼ cup lemon juice
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Description

Dissolve salt in 1 gallon water in a large pot; add shrimp. Brine in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours. Drain; pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Meanwhile, melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in garlic; cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add shrimp, white wine, lemon juice, and pepper flakes; cook and stir until shrimp are no longer translucent in centers, about 6 minutes. Stir in parsley, lemon zest, and black pepper; toss with angel hair pasta.
