Steps:
- Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Salt liberally.
- In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the baking soda and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes (this keeps the shrimp moist with a nice crust on the outside).
- Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the oil to the skillet, then arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the oil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, undisturbed, until a nice crust is formed, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, then add the butter and garlic. Cook gently until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Add the wine to deglaze and let simmer for 1 more minute. Add the peas and pasta. Toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper. Add a generous amount of Parmesan and toss again, adding the pasta water as necessary.
- Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Garnish with more Parmesan and the parsley. Serve.

Steps:
- Bring pasta, garlic, broth, 2 cups water, and oil to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 minutes less than instructed on pasta package.
- Add shrimp and 1 teaspoon lemon zest and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in peas, 1/2 cup feta, and dill and cook, stirring, until peas are bright green and crisp-tender and shrimp are opaque, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice. Serve, topped with remaining 1/4 cup cheese, remaining 1 teaspoon zest, and coarsely chopped dill, and drizzled with oil.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh shrimp and sugar snap peas. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
- If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little extra heat.
- Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
