• 0.5 Cups butter, melted
• 0.5 Cups onion, minced
• 0.25 Cups lemon juice
• 4 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
• 1 Teaspoon dry white wine

• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Pinch Worcestershire sauce, to taste
• 1 Pound medium shrimp, peeled

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook until al dente, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
