Buffalo Garlic Shrimp over Pasta

I got a version of this from allrecipes. It's got a nice hot kick. I use a bag of raw frozen tail-off, peeled, deveined shrimp, and the buffalo wing mix can be found in the aisle with packets of gravy mixes, etc.

Ingredients

1 lb large raw shrimp
1.6 oz envelope buffalo wing seasoning mix
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1-2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
6-8 oz angel hair pasta (about half a box or less)


Directions

Boil water for angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions.

If frozen, thaw the shrimp by running under water (not hot water). It should only takes a couple minutes to thaw all the shrimp - they'll start to cook under the water if you thaw them too long. Drain and place shrimp in a sealable plastic bag (or the original bag if possible). Add the buffalo wing mix to the bag, seal, and shake to coat the shrimp.

Heat the olive oil, butter, garlic, and crushed red pepper in a large skillet over medium heat until butter melts. Raise the heat to medium-high and add shrimp. Stir until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes.

Serve shrimp over pasta, or toss to combine. Makes about 4 servings.
