Time 30m

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
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping (optional)
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (about 1 large lemon)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons capers, fried

Steps:

  • Make the shrimp: In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper; add to the preheated pan in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
  • Make the pasta: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, parmesan and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl to blend.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh shrimp, vegetables, and herbs will give your dish the best flavor possible.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink in the center.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp will not cook evenly and will end up steamed instead of seared.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The wine will add flavor to the dish, so use a wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or chives will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.

Conclusion:

Lemony shrimp fettuccine is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The combination of shrimp, lemon, and fettuccine is a classic for a reason.
