How To Make shrimp and lemon spaghetti
-
1Make the Shrimp: In a medium saute-pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add to the preheated pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Set aside. -
2Make the pasta. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until still firm to the bite, stirring, about 8 minutes.

3Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, parmesan, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl to blend.
