Angel Hair Pasta with Lemon, Garlic, and Shrimp

This recipe is a combination of two recipes from "In the Kitchen with Rosie". I like to cook using very little fat, however she tries to stay under 5 grams per dish, which I think may be a little extreme. I think it tastes better with a little more, which I had added to the recipe. Hope you like it! - Home Cook Jane
