Chef and restaurateur Ryan DePersio has a never-fail dish for the angel-hair pasta x shrimp lover in you!
I LOVE angel-hair pasta (but only like small shrimp) and make my scampi and angel hair dish with lots of small shrimp.
That doesn’t mean you can’t make it with JUMBO shrimp, right.
Well if that be you? Have at this awesome, recipe. And like me, for us small shrimp lovers, in place of “12 Jumbo Shrimp,” give the small guys a chance. It’s DELISH!
