Description

A simple Old Bay-seasoned shrimp and olive oil sauce, with a touch of creamy Alfredo, coats angel hair pasta in this zesty Italian pasta recipe.

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped, or to taste
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
1/2 cup Alfredo sauce, or as needed
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

1 Heat oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and sprinkle with seafood seasoning; toss until completely coated. Stir in red pepper flakes and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 10 to 15 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, 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 pasta.
3 Add pasta to the skillet and toss with shrimp and olive oil to combine. Stir in Alfredo sauce and drizzle with lemon juice.
