This is always a hit. The best part is how fast you can whip it up! You could just buy roasted tomatoes in a jar, but I think roasting them yourself gives the dish a very fresh, deep flavor.

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
¾ pound Roma (plum) tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
2 teaspoons olive oil, or more to taste
salt and ground pepper to taste
1 pound butter, cut into cubes
3 tablespoons grated red onion
6 cloves garlic, or more to taste, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil, divided
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
10 fresh mushrooms, quartered
2 teaspoons garlic powder
¼ cup lemon juice
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Pour shrimp mixture over the angel hair pasta; top with Parmesan cheese and lemon juice and toss to coat pasta completely. Garnish with remaining basil.
