Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

02

Step
10 mins

Add shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle generously with seafood seasoning, ensuring each shrimp is well-coated. Stir in crushed red pepper flakes. Cook until shrimp turn pink and opaque, approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

03

Step
4 mins

While the shrimp cooks, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions, about 4-5 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.

04

Step
1 mins

Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the shrimp. Toss to combine thoroughly.

05

Step
0 mins

Stir in Alfredo sauce. If the pasta seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

06

Step
0 mins

Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and toss again. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

07

Step
0 mins

Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet after the garlic is fragrant.
Don't overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. Cook just until they are pink and opaque.
Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness.
Feel free to experiment with different types of pasta. Linguine or fettuccine would also work well.
For a richer flavor, use homemade Alfredo sauce instead of store-bought.

    My kids loved it! They are usually picky eaters, but they devoured this pasta.

  • Ruthie Wyman

    I found it a bit too spicy for my taste, so I reduced the amount of red pepper flakes. It was perfect after that!

  • Fanny Cremin

    The lemon juice really brightens up the dish. Don't skip it!

    I added a little white wine and some spinach to the dish, and it was amazing! Definitely a keeper.

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So quick and easy for a weeknight dinner, and the Old Bay seasoning gives it such a unique flavor.
