Ingredients
-
¾ cup kosher salt
-
1 gallon cold water
-
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
-
3 tablespoons minced garlic
-
⅓ cup white wine
-
¼ cup lemon juice
-
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
-
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Directions
-
Dissolve the kosher salt in 1 gallon of water in a large pot. Add the shrimp, and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours. Drain and pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
-
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
-
Meanwhile, melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp, white wine, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until the shrimp is no longer translucent in the center, about 6 minutes. Stir in the black pepper, parsley, and lemon zest before tossing with the angel hair pasta.
