Summary

Shrimp Spaghetti

My husband loves shrimp so I created this simple pasta dish for him. Lemon zest adds freshness and I like to sprinkle the spaghetti with basil for color and taste.

  • 4 ounces spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zested; zest cut into thin slivers
  • 10 eaches uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

  2. While spaghetti is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Add lemon zest and cook for 5 minutes. Strain olive oil through a sieve and return to the skillet. Add shrimp and garlic. Cook in the lemony oil, stirring occasionally, until shrimp turns pink, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Drain spaghetti, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Add drained spaghetti, reserved cooking water, and basil to the skillet and mix well. Serve immediately.
