Servings: persons

1/2 cup butter
1 large lemon, juice and zest of, grated (need 1/4 cup lemon juice)
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried basil (I generally use 1 slightly teaspoon)
2 teaspoons dried oregano (I generally use 1 teaspoon)
1 lb medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 green onions, both white and green portions finely chopped
salt
fresh ground black pepper (lots!)
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
3/4 lb pasta (I prefer angel hair in this recipe)

1
Cook pasta according to package directions only until just al dente; drain; set aside.
2
Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet (I love making this in my wok!). Add lemon zest, garlic, red pepper flakes, basil and oregano; saute over medium heat 2 minutes.
3
Add shrimp and saute until opaque, about 4 minutes. Note that shrimp should almost be fully cooked at this stage, but not completely, so don't overcook this step or shrimp will be tough.
4
Add parsley, green onions, salt and pepper, and cook 1 minute longer.
5
Stir in lemon juice and cook another minute, then add the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese; toss well and serve immediately.
6
Serve with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.
