Time 25m

Yield 4 to 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
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons capers, fried briefly in a little olive oil

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with the salt and pepper, then add to the pan in a single layer and cook until pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
  • For 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 the pasta, reserving the pasta water.
  • While the pasta is cooking, whisk together the olive oil, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Toss the drained pasta with the lemon sauce, the shrimp and some of the reserved pasta water; add 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Add the salt, pepper and basil and toss. Garnish with the fried capers.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish was a disaster. The sauce was curdled and the shrimp were overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very creamy and the shrimp were a bit greasy. I would recommend using less butter and cream in the sauce.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too lemony for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice or adding a bit of sugar to balance out the flavor.
