Lightly coat the shrimp with flour and reserve. In a skillet over medium high heat, add the clarified butter. When the butter is hot, add the peppercorns and bruise slightly with the back of a heavy spoon. Add the shrimp and cook with stirring until the shrimp turn pink (about two minutes). Add the Pernod and mix well. Heat with constant stirring to boil off the alcohol (about three minutes).

To a bowl, add the sour cream and heavy cream and whisk until smooth. Add the cream mixture to the skillet and mix well. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer for one minute and season with salt and pepper. Add in the angel hair pasta and toss it well to evenly coat and heat the pasta.
