Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 lbs peeled and deveined shrimp
12 oz dry angel hair pasta
3 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan

Steps:

In order to convey the distinctions between the various noodles, pastas were given numbers so that the employees understood which pasta they would make that day. "Today, we are making #9."

What is Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp and Feta Cheese?

Angel hair pasta with shrimp and feta cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that features tender angel hair pasta, succulent shrimp, and tangy feta cheese. This delicious dish combines the flavors of fresh, salty feta cheese with juicy shrimp and delicate strands of angel hair pasta, creating a mouth-watering combination that is sure to please any palate.

Angel Hair Pasta

Angel hair pasta, also known as capellini, is an incredibly delicate and thin pasta that is often used in light, fresh dishes, such as salads or with seafood. Its delicate texture is perfect for absorbing sauces and flavors, making it a great choice for dishes like angel hair pasta with shrimp and feta cheese. Made from semolina flour and water, angel hair pasta is an excellent source of carbohydrates and can be a healthy addition to any diet when paired with nutritious ingredients, such as shrimp and vegetables.

Shrimp

Shrimp is a popular seafood ingredient that is low in fat and calories but high in protein and nutrients. It is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health, and selenium, which plays a role in immune system function. Shrimp is also a good source of vitamin B12, which is important for proper nerve function, and vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium for strong bones. When cooked properly, shrimp can be a delicious and healthy addition to any meal, especially when paired with angel hair pasta and feta cheese.

Feta Cheese

Feta cheese is a tangy, salty cheese that is commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine. It is made from sheep's milk or a combination of sheep's milk and goat's milk and has a crumbly texture and a bold flavor that pairs well with seafood and pasta dishes. Feta cheese is a good source of calcium, which is essential for strong bones, and protein, which is important for building and repairing tissues in the body. It is also lower in fat than many other types of cheese, making it a healthier choice for those watching their calorie intake.

Preparation

To prepare angel hair pasta with shrimp and feta cheese, begin by cooking the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are pink and cooked through. Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add chopped garlic, diced tomatoes, and sliced onions and cook until the vegetables are tender. Add a splash of white wine to the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Once the wine has reduced slightly, add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet and toss it with the vegetables and wine sauce. Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and toss everything together. Finish the dish by crumbled feta cheese on top of the pasta and shrimp mixture. The tangy, salty flavor of the feta cheese adds an extra dimension of flavor to the dish and complements the delicate flavors of the angel hair pasta and juicy shrimp perfectly. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of this light and healthy dish.

Angel hair pasta with shrimp and feta cheese is a delicious recipe that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. This dish is light, fresh, and packed with flavors that blend perfectly together. However, to create the perfect dish, you need to know some tips and tricks that will help you to ensure the taste, texture, and presentation of your angel hair pasta with shrimp and feta cheese are perfect. This article will provide you with some valuable tips on how to make the best angel hair pasta with shrimp and feta cheese recipe.

Tips for Preparing Angel Hair Pasta

1. Use a large pot – Use a large pot to cook the angel hair pasta to avoid the noodles sticking together. The noodles should have plenty of space to move around freely. 2. Cook the pasta al dente – Don’t overcook the pasta. The perfect texture of angel hair pasta is al dente, which means it should be tender but still have some firmness. Overcooking will make it soggy and lose its flavor. 3. Salt the water – Always add salt to the water before cooking the pasta. This helps to enhance the flavor of the pasta.

Tips for Preparing Shrimp

1. Don’t overcook the shrimp – Overcooking the shrimp will make it rubbery and tough. Cook the shrimp until it turns pink, but not longer than a few minutes. 2. Use fresh shrimp – Always choose fresh shrimp for this recipe. Fresh shrimp will have a sweet flavor and a tender texture. 3. Peel the shrimp – Remove the shell and the tail of the shrimp before cooking. 4. Remove the vein from the shrimp – Using a small knife, make a shallow cut along the top of the shrimp and remove the dark vein. This will make the shrimp more appealing and remove any grittiness.

Tips for Preparing Feta Cheese

1. Choose a good quality feta cheese – Select a good quality feta cheese that has a creamy texture and a tangy flavor. 2. Crumble the cheese – Use a fork to crumble the cheese. This will allow you to sprinkle the cheese evenly over the pasta. 3. Add the cheese at the end – Feta cheese is a delicate cheese, and it can melt quickly. Add the cheese just before serving to keep it from melting and keep the crumbled texture.

Tips for Combining the Ingredients

1. Mix everything together – Combine the cooked angel hair pasta, cooked shrimp, crumbled feta cheese, and any other ingredients, such as cherry tomatoes or olives, in a large bowl. 2. Toss gently – Be gentle when you mix the ingredients together. Toss the pasta gently to avoid breaking the shrimp or the pasta. 3. Add the sauce – Add the sauce slowly and mix it in well. Be sure to add just enough sauce to coat the pasta, shrimp, and cheese evenly.

Tips for Serving

1. Use a large platter – Use a large platter to serve the pasta. This will allow you to spread the pasta out evenly and create some space between the ingredients. 2. Garnish with fresh herbs – Sprinkle fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, over the top of the dish. This will add some color and freshness to the dish. 3. Serve immediately – Serve the dish immediately after adding the sauce. This will prevent the pasta from becoming soggy and the cheese from melting.

Conclusion

In conclusion, following these tips can help you create the perfect angel hair pasta with shrimp and feta cheese recipe. Make sure to pay attention to the details and choose the right ingredients to ensure that the dish is light, fresh, and packed with flavor. With a little bit of effort, you can create a delicious and impressive dish that will impress your family and friends.
