    • 🦐 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

STEPS

1

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.

2

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.

3

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 is no longer translucent in the center, about 6 minutes.

Stir in parsley, lemon zest, and black pepper; toss with angel hair pasta.
