1 pounds shrimp raw, shelled and de-veined
2 Tablespoons olive oil
3 Tablespoons butter
Salt
½ cup white wine also can substitute broth
2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Boil pasta as directed on package. Drain and set aside. You can also boil pasta while working on the shrimp and sauce.
Heat your pan on high heat. Reduce to medium heat before adding anything.
Add the butter and olive oil. Swirl in the pan until butter is melted.
Stir in the minced garlic. Saute garlic for 1 minute.
Toss the shrimp into the pan. Stir for about 1 minute.
Pour in the wine or broth and stir to coat the shrimp with your sauce.
Turn the heat back up to high and boil the sauce for about 2-3 minutes. Lay the shrimp out flat while the wine is boiling.
After 2-3 minutes, turn the shrimp over and continue cooking on high for 1 minute.
Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with parsley, lemon juice, and black pepper, and toss to combine.
Toss sauce and shrimp with cooked and drained angel hair pasta.
