Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 2 tablespoons white wine
- 1/4 cup minced lemon pieces
- 8 ounces uncooked capellini noodles

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Press the excess moisture out of the shrimp and place them in the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes without moving, then flip and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove shrimp when cooked through and set aside.
- Start a pot of boiling water for the noodles.
- Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook as directed. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add garlic and butter, and sauté for 3 minutes until fragrant and soft.
- Add white wine and cook down for a few minutes. Add minced lemon and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
- Drain the noodles and return them to the saucepan. Add the sautéed garlic-butter-lemon mixture, fresh parsley, and cooked shrimp. Toss to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper, and top with Parmesan cheese.
Notes
