    Shrimp Scampi, w/Angel Hair Pasta

    1/4 cup Olive oil
    1 pound peeled and deveined large raw shrimp
    4 large garlic cloves, finely minced or pressed
    1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    5 Tablespoons unsalted butter
    3/4 pound angel hair pasta
    1/2 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

    Bring a 6 to 8 quart pot of salted water to a boil.
    Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat
    until hot but not smoking, then saute shrimp, turning over once, until
    just cooked through, about 2 minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon
    to a large bowl.
    Add garlic to oil remaining in skillet along with red pepper flakes,
    wine, salt, and pepper and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, 1
    minute.
    Add butter to skillet, stirring until melted, and stir in shrimp.
    Remove skillet from heat.
    Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente to package directions.
    Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander.
    Toss pasta well with shrimp mixture and parsley in large bowl,
    adding some of reserved cooking water if necessary to keep moist.
    Makes 4 servings.
