Shrimp Spaghetti

Summary
Shrimp SpaghettiMy 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.
Integrated
- 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
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.
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.
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.
