A few days a go I made an attempt at Shrimp Scampi, I neglected to make a note on what I needed for it. I purchased the shrimp and made the basic dish and realized I needed angel hair pasta. I used thin spaghetti-not nearly the same. The angel hair when cooked is still substantially less bulky in the dish. The other thing I realized that the thicker pasta kills the flavor making entire dish pretty bland in spite of the amount of garlic required. I added in chopped green onions which helped but I am sure the wrong pasta is what made the dish as blah as it was. In Shrimp Sampi, the pasta is important.
