Shrimp Scampi

Nana's Shrimp Scampi

12 oz angel hair pasta

1/3 cup butter

1 lb fresh shrimp

2 green onions, sliced

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 Tablespoon lemon zest

½ cup lemon juice

½ teaspoon hot sauce (more or less per taste)

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Cook pasta and keep warm. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until just pink. Stir in all remaining ingredients. Serve over hot pasta. Tip: Don’t overcook the shrimp, they get super chewy and it’s not good!

Now as you can see, I do two things differently. I cut the shrimp up into bite size pieces and I use spaghetti, not angel hair. Only because this is my husband's preference. Enjoy!
