Chicken broth adds flavor with fewer calories and vegetable broth is budget-friendly.

Parmesan cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Mix shrimp with baking soda and Old Bay seasoning, let sit for 5-10 minutes.

Cook angel hair pasta al dente according to package instructions, then drain.

Heat a 14-inch stainless steel pan over medium heat for 3 minutes before adding olive oil.

Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan, about 1/4 cup.

Add shrimp to the pan, cooking for about 90 seconds until just underdone, then remove and tent with foil.

Add more olive oil to the pan, then add sliced shallots and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add sliced garlic to the shallots and cook until fragrant and slightly colored.

Add sliced cherry tomatoes and cook until softened.

Pour in white wine and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze.

Stir in capers and let simmer for a few minutes.

Add the shrimp back to the pan and finish with cold butter, stirring to combine.

Serve over cooked angel hair pasta.
