Ingredients

  • 1 pound vermicelli pasta
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water with vegetable oil until al dente.
  2. Meanwhile, place the shrimp in boiling salted water for 3 to 5 minutes, just until they turn pink. Cooking time will depend on the size of the shrimp. Remove the tails, and place in a bowl of warm water.

  4. Drain pasta, and transfer to a serving dish. Toss with garlic butter and shrimp. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
