Spicy Garlicky Shrimp Pasta




• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1 – 1lb. bag of frozen shrimp, thawed
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Earth Balance (or Butter if you eat dairy)
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 16 oz. cooked penne pasta
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup chopped green onion, tops only

Mix the first six ingredients thoroughly. Toss the shrimp with the spices until well blended.

Place the olive oil and Earth Balance in a large 14-inch skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp to the pan, cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine and lemon juice and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Season the shrimp with the remaining salt and pepper and add the pasta, crushed red pepper flakes and green onions, tossing to coat well and serve.

Serves 4.
