Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
• 1 (12 ounce) package angel hair pasta
• 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
• 24 peeled and deveined medium shrimp
• 1 (4 ounce) jar capers
• 0.75 cup dry white wine
• 0.33333334326744 cup salted butter
• 0.33333334326744 cup olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes; drain.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir olive oil, jalapeno pepper, and red pepper flakes into the melted butter; cook until the flavors of the peppers infuse into the butter mixture, about 10 minutes. Remove and discard the jalapeno slices if desired; they will make this dish really hot if you leave them in.

Step 3

Stir white wine into the butter mixture; cook another 5 minutes. Add shrimp and capers. Increase heat to medium; cook and stir the shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add drained pasta to the shrimp mixture; toss to coat. Top with Parmesan cheese to serve.
