8 ounces angel hair pasta or 8 ounces other thin pasta
1 1/2 lbs uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
5 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/2 cup butter

Steps:

Cook pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet or wok, stir-fry shrimp in 3 teaspoons oil for 1-2 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
Stir-fry broccoli in remaining oil for 3 minutes. Add garlic; stir-fry 2 minutes longer or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Add the butter, wine, salt and pepper.
Drain pasta; add to skillet.
Stir fry the pasta and vegetables until the butter is Melted.
Add the Parmasan Cheese (I used at least 1/2 cup).

Stir in shrimp.
Stir fry until everything is coated -- I kept going until there was a bit of crisp crusts of cheese on some of the pasta and shrimp.
