Champagne Shrimp and Angel Hair Pasta
Happy New Year everyone!!! Today’s post is not my recipe. This Champagne Shrimp and Angel Hair Pasta were sent to me by The Shrimp Council. I thought it is a great recipe though as it uses 2 cups of champagne, something you might have leftover from last night’s festivities and flat champagne isn’t the best for drinking that is for sure but would be excellent in this recipe. So here is a way to use that up!!! Enjoy!!

Champagne Shrimp and Angel Hair
A great dish to use up that leftover champagne.
Ingredients
- 1 lb of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz of angel hair pasta
- 2 cups of your choice of Champagne
- 1 cup of fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of minced shallots
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- Cook the pasta as directed, drain afterward, and coat with a Tbsp. of olive oil.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the other Tbsp. of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Cook the mushrooms in the olive oil until tender, then remove and set aside.
- Combine the shrimp, Champagne, and salt in the pan and cook over high heat. When the liquid starts to boil remove the shrimp and add the shallots.
- Boil for 8 min. until reduced to about half a cup. Stir in 3/4 of the cream and boil for an additional 2 min.
- Add the shrimp and the mushrooms to the sauce, heat through.
- Toss the hot, cooked pasta with the remaining 1/4 cup of cream and the freshly chopped parsley.
- Spoon the shrimp with sauce over the pasta and serve.
