    cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 3

  • 1
    teaspoon dried oregano leaves

    Meanwhile, in large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in butter about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion has softened. Add sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, pepper flakes, salt and capers. Cook 3 minutes longer.
  • 3
    Stir in shrimp. Cover; cook until shrimp just turn pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Gradually stir in reserved pasta cooking water.
  • 4
    Add pasta to skillet; toss with shrimp and sauce. Serve immediately.

  • Dry-pack sun-dried tomatoes may also be used in this recipe.
  • Any long pasta shape, such as linguine or spaghetti, can be substituted for the angel hair.
  • If you like fresh basil and have it on hand, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of chopped basil at the end of cooking time. For even more Mediterranean flavor, top with 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (4 oz) just before serving.
