Shrimp over Angel Hair Pasta


Some recipes are so good, I want you to make them tonight.  This is one of them.  Minimum ingredients, maximum taste.

1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
3/4 lb. angel hair pasta cooked according to package directions
2 T. olive oil
1 medium yellow onion chopped
1 15 oz. can of petite diced tomatoes

2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
A little Parmesan for the topping

Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet.  Add onions and let them cook until translucent.  Add garlic and as soon as it begins to brown, add the tomatoes and let them heat through.  Salt and pepper the shrimp and add them to the skillet.  Let them cook until bright pink and opaque, 3 - 4 minutes. 

Add pasta and stir thoroughly to combine.  The picture above is definitely a minimalist version.  Feel free to add chopped parsley, basil or oregano after plating.  And don't forget the Parmesan!

  3. Just made something similar Sunday evening. Pretty much the same, but no onion and adding thyme and oregano, and using fresh tomatoes. Yours sounds great, I like the addition of onion, and using the tinned tomatoes would definitely be a time saver. Love this!
