Super Easy Garlic Shrimp and Ricotta on Angel Hair

[gwpercle]

This shrimp recipe is extremely simple and easy to fix....should require only two pots, one for the shrimp and the other to boil the angel hair pasta !
We had two pounds of shrimp left over from a shrimp boil but fresh or frozen can also be used. This feeds 6 persons .

Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil
6 to 8 large cloves garlic , minced
2 1/2 sticks butter
2 lbs. Peeled Shrimp , fresh , frozen or leftover from a boil .
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cajun spice seasoning
Cooked Angel Hair Pasta
16 oz. container Ricotta Cheese
black pepper
Grated Parmesan Cheese .

Instructions:
Boil salted water and cook angel hair pasta while cooking shrimp. Drain when done , set aside .
Heat olive oil in heavy pan and saute minced garlic until light brown on med/high.
Add the butter and let melt , do not cook the butter until it's clarified .
Add shrimp , lower heat to medium and cook until just done .

Place a serving of warm angel hair pasta on your plate , spoon dollops of ricotta Cheese on the pasta , spoon the warm butter, garlic and shrimp sauce over the pasta , top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan , black pepper and salt to taste .

If you use disposable plates you should only have two pots and a few forks to wash.
We fixed this Sunday night and are having the leftovers tonight....I been thinking about it all day...Good !
Feel free to add more cajun spice if you like it spicy .

If you've never had Ricotta Cheese , garlic butter sauce and pasta...with or without the shrimp part you are in for a treat.
My wife is from an Italian family from New Orleans , they ate this pasta sans the shrimp...just olive oil/butter garlic sauce , ricotta cheese and pasta ... which is very good and if you don't /can't have shrimp you should try it without the shrimp .
try it ...You can cut down the butter and add a little more olive oil and it wont be too bad for you.
The ricotta cheese melts and blends with the butter sauce...bread for sopping up any leftover sauce on your plate is highly recommended.
It was my coon *** idea to add the shrimp .

Hope this is as good as the last shrimp recipe I made from this website.

Shrimp is so blasted expensive here (SoCal) I only buy the frozen.

I subscribe to the theory of never ordering Sea food more then 100 miles from the Ocean.

And ya gotta use it the same day you buy it.

If you can't get fresh look for the Frozen Wild Gulf Shrimp , these are wild , not farm raised , caught in the Gulf of Mexico and labeled as from USA . They come in a blue package and are almost as good as dock side fresh . I use them often in cooking . Don't buy any that come from a foreign country, these are farmed and treated heavily with chemicals and antibiotics ...one clue is when you add them to a cooking liquid , like a butter sauce or gumbo , they foam up when added....it's the chemicals !!!
Nasty...they have a funny taste to them .
Leave the shrimp out of the garlic butter sauce and ricotta cheese on angel hair dish....it's still a yummy winner dinner .

+5 on that. Anything that comes from the water over there is not served in my house. Also, the Frozen Wild Gulf Shrimp is sold in HEB stores around here. I pay a little more for seafood and crawfish, but most of what I get comes from one of 2 seafood places within a half mile of my house.
