Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces raw shrimp, large,peeled and deveined
1 cup dry white wine (drinking quality)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh is best for this)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped or 1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
8 ounces capellini (angel-hair pasta)

Steps:

  • In medium non-metallic bowl, combine shrimp with all remaining ingredients except pasta.
  • Marinate at room temp for 30 minutes.
  • Drain shrimp and reserve marinade.
  • Place reserved marinade in lg skillet and bring to boil over med-high heat; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup.
  • While marinade is reducing, bring 8 cups water to boil; prepare to do next two steps simultaneously (will want to wait until sauce is nearly reduced to put pasta into boiling water).
  • Cook pasta until tender-firm, approx 3-4 minute.
  • As soon as pasta is placed in boiling water, add shrimp back into simmering marinade, so that pasta and shrimp are cooking at same time.
  • Toss shrimp continuously in marinade until hot, firm, and opaque; do not overcook!
  • Drain pasta and place on warm platter; top with shrimp and marinade.
  • Serve at once.
