Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • ½ pound angel hair
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Cook angel hair according to the instructions on the package. Drain the angel hair once it is al dente, reserving a cup of the water which was used to cook the pasta.
  2. While the angel hair is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Saute until the shrimp has just started to turn pink, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the white wine, tomatoes and cream to the shrimp mixture. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Stir in the lemon juice and continue to cook until the shrimp is cooked through.
  4. Divide the cooked angel hair equally across 4 plates. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a tablespoon of the water that was used to cook the pasta at a time, until the sauce has the desired consistency. Pour the sauce evenly over the pasta. Serve immediately.
