1 pound Angel Hair Pasta
1/4 cup Butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped Red Pepper
1/2 cup coarsely chopped Green Pepper
1/2 cup coarsely chopped Sweet Purple Onion
1 pound frozen Shrimp (small 61-70 per package size)
1 tablespoon Flour
2 1/2 cups Half and Half
Garlic Powder (to taste)
Freshly ground Black Pepper (to taste)
Seasoning Salt (to taste)
Creole Seasoning (store bought or homemade, to taste)

Steps:

Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain. Set aside.
Add butter to a large frying pan. Place over medium heat. Heat until butter is melted and hot - but not browned.
Add peppers and onion. Fry until almost tender - They should still have a bit of crunch and "bite" to them.
Add frozen shrimp. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Add flour to sauce mixture. Stir to combine.
Add half and half.
Taste. Season to taste with the pepper, garlic, seasoned salt and creole seasoning.
Lower heat a bit and allow sauce to simmer gently for about five more minutes, until thickened.
Place a bit of angel hair pasta on each serving plate.
Spoon sauce, with a good amount of shrimp and peppers, over each plate.
Serve hot.
