Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb capellini pasta
  • 3 tbsp olive oil plus extra for tossing
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 lb raw shrimp shelled and deveined
  • 2 whole garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp dried dillweed
  • 20 oz chicken stock
  • 1 pinch black pepper to taste

Instructions 

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the capellini until just barely tender; drain, rinse, and place in a large bowl. Toss the capellini with a little olive oil to keep it from sticking together.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil and melt the butter over medium heat; add the shrimp-and garlic and sauté until the shrimp just turns pink. Stir in the lemon juice, basil, parsley, oregano, dillweed, and chicken stock; reduce the heat and simmer until heated through.
  • Pour the shrimp mixture over the capellini and toss gently until the capellini is lightly coated. Season with pepper and serve.
