    Ingredients

    16 oz. angel hair pasta

    1/2 cup butter

    3 cloves of garlic, pressed or minced

    1 lb. of raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

    1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese

    6 cups, chopped Romaine lettuce (I prefer Romain Hearts)

    1 cup croutons (or more if you want)

    3 tbsp, Creamy Caesar Dressing (I love Ken's brand)

    1/4 cup parmesan cheese

    Pre-buttered french bread from the bakery

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    Boil the angel hair pasta in 6 cups of water.
    Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium high heat melt the butter, and stir continuously until it beings to turn a light golden brown. Add in the garlic and continue to stir. Add in the shrimp, and cook for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until done.
    Drain pasta, and add to the brown butter shrimp mixture. Add 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese, toss to coat pasta. Remove from heat and set aside.
    Place the pre-buttered french bread on a foil lined baking sheet into the oven for 3-5 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
    In a large bowl toss together the chopped romaine, croutons, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, and creamy caesar salad dressing.
    Serve pasta with a slice of garlic bread, and a side of Caesar salad. Enjoy!
