1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain; keep warm.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook shrimp in hot butter, stirring occasionally, until the meat is opaque and bright pink on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer shrimp to a warm plate.
