Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the pasta water
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Time 30m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounces spaghetti
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, zested; zest cut into thin slivers
10 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemon zest and juice, as well as succulent jumbo shrimp, will elevate the flavor of this dish.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they turn opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Add the lemon-butter sauce at the end: This will help to prevent the sauce from breaking.
  • Serve immediately: Lemon spaghetti with jumbo shrimp is best served immediately, while the shrimp is still hot and the sauce is creamy.

Conclusion:

Lemon spaghetti with jumbo shrimp is a delightful and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of tangy lemon, rich butter, and succulent shrimp is sure to please everyone at the table. With its vibrant flavors and elegant presentation, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
