Garlic Parmesan Shrimp and Angel Hair

One of our favorite Sunday dinners is Fettuccine Alfredo draped with a hearty portion of shrimp scampi. It really hits the spot, and everyone in the family enjoys it.  I really wanted to make a dish like this for weeknights, but one that was not quite as heavy (After all, I can't be passing out in a creamy pasta coma before I get the kids in bed!)

Garlic Parmesan Shrimp and Angel Hair combines many of the flavors that we love, but skips the cream to make a slightly lighter version of our favorite.  Plus, it only takes 30 minutes to make, making it a perfect weeknight family dinner.
