Preparation

Step 1

1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2 In a smaller pot, heat the cream, chicken stock and lemon juice to a low simmer. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
3 Add the angel hair pasta to the boiling water.
4 Add the shrimp to the simmering lemon cream sauce. Stir well and add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
5 When the pasta is done, about 5 minutes, drain and put it in a large bowl. Add the herbs to the simmering lemon cream sauce and let them cook for 1 minute. Pour the shrimp and lemon sauce into the pasta bowl and mix well. Add the lemon zest and most of the parmesan and mix again. Divide into servings, and top with the remaining parmesan.
Note, if the resulting mixture seems to dry, just add a little water or cream. If it seems to wet, don't worry, the pasta will absorb the sauce.
