Prep the Pasta (if using): Start by cooking your angel hair pasta in salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until fragrant—don’t let it brown!
Cook Shrimp: Add shrimp in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
Deglaze with Wine: Pour in white wine and lemon juice. Let simmer for 1–2 minutes to reduce slightly and let the flavors marry.
Finish with Fresh Herbs: Stir in chopped parsley and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve: Toss with cooked pasta or spoon over toasted bread. Garnish with extra lemon juice and parmesan if desired.
