Angel Hair with Shrimp and Tomato Sauce
Description
Angel Hair with Shrimp and Tomato Sauce calls for peeled, deveined large shrimp seasoned with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, then sautéed quickly with garlic in olive oil. A can of drained petite diced tomatoes and dry white wine are added to the skillet, briefly cooked to meld flavors. After removing from heat, half and half is stirred in to add creaminess without heaviness. The sauce is completed with a splash of lemon juice and fresh chopped parsley for brightness.
The angel hair pasta is cooked al dente, then combined with the shrimp and tomato sauce for a delicate-textured dish. The resulting flavor offers savory shrimp accented by the slight acidity of wine and tomatoes, rounded by the creamy sauce and fragrant herbs.
This dish is portioned into four servings and works well as a light dinner or lunch. Its balance of protein, pasta, and sauce fits well into a simple meal plan. Freshness is key, particularly with the parsley garnish and garlic infusion.
