Recipe View Serve the angel hair pasta in bowls and top generously with the shrimp and tomato sauce mixture. Garnish with extra fresh basil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic while cooking.
Fresh basil is essential for the best flavor, but dried basil can be substituted in a pinch (use about 1 tablespoon).
Dry vermouth can be substituted for the dry white wine.
To prevent the shrimp from overcooking, it is important to remove them from the skillet as soon as they are cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will become rubbery.
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
