😂 Yes, I bake… but YES, I cook too!

Tonight’s menu: Restaurant-Style Garlic Shrimp Angel Hair. It was SUPER delicious! 😋

Angel hair tossed in a buttery garlic white-wine sauce with seared shrimp, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan & basil.

Ingredients

* 8 oz angel hair pasta
* 8 large shrimp, peeled & deveined
* 1½ tbsp olive oil
* 1 tbsp minced garlic
* 3 tbsp julienne-cut sun-dried tomatoes
* 1 tsp oil from the sun-dried tomato jar
* ¼ cup Pinot Grigio
* ¼ cup reserved pasta water, plus more if needed
* 1 tsp lemon juice
* ½–¾ tsp Italian seasoning
* 1½ tbsp butter
* ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
* 1 tbsp basil paste or 2–3 tbsp fresh basil
* Salt & black pepper
* Red pepper flakes, optional

Directions

Cook the angel hair in salted water until just al dente. Reserve some pasta water before draining.

Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and a little Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the shrimp for 60–90 seconds per side. Remove and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and a teaspoon of the tomato oil. Sauté for 30–45 seconds.

Pour in the Pinot Grigio and simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing it to reduce. Add the lemon juice, remaining Italian seasoning, and about ¼ cup pasta water.

Add the angel hair and toss for 30–60 seconds. Reduce heat to low and add butter and Parmesan, tossing until the sauce is silky and coats the pasta.

Return the shrimp to the skillet for about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and stir in the basil.

Dr. Mo Tip 👩🏽‍🍳: Go easy on the lemon—the wine and sun-dried tomatoes already add plenty of brightness. If it tastes a little tart, add a touch more butter or Parmesan.

And YES… it tastes as good as it looks!

Let me know what you think! ☺️

One of the best parts about owning your own business is having the freedom to create, experiment, and try whatever comes to mind. Sometimes you just have to get in the kitchen and see what happens.

Today’s experiment: Oatmeal Raisin Pecan Crunch™

And I think I might be onto something… 🥳💛
