1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2

Place the tomato halves on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
3

Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven until the edges are crisp, about 35 minutes. Move them to a cutting board to cool, then cut into small chunks.
4

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but slightly firm, 4 to 5 minutes; drain. Transfer to a large bowl.
5

Melt the butter in a skillet over low heat. Cook and stir the onion, garlic, and half the basil in the hot butter until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
6

Stir the shrimp, tomato chunks, mushrooms, and garlic powder into the onion mixture. Raise the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 6 minutes.
7

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