Juicy shrimp with garlic, butter, and Parmesan cheese adorn a hearty helping of angel hair pasta in this 30 minute Garlic Parmesan Shrimp and Angel Hair recipe.
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.
