Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tomato, diced
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
• 0.5 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain; keep warm.

Step 2

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook shrimp in hot butter, stirring occasionally, until the meat is opaque and bright pink on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer shrimp to a warm plate.

Step 3

Cook and stir garlic in the same skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato, remaining 6 tablespoons butter, basil, and extra-virgin olive oil. Stir in cooked shrimp.

Step 4

Serve over warm pasta and garnish with additional basil.
