Vegetable Oil
Kosher salt
1 1/2 Pounds Angel Hair pasta
6 T (3/4 stick) Unsalted butter
5 T Olive oil
3 T Minced garlic (9 cloves)
2 Pounds Large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Drizzle some oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the pasta, and cook according to the directions on the package.

Meanwhile, in another large, heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Add the shrimp, 1 tablespoon of salt, and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often.
