Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound dried spaghetti
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for finishing
1/2 teaspoon dried pepperoncini flakes
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound extra-large shrimp, peeled, deveined and butterflied
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Steps:

  • Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water and stir. Cook until al dente, about 2 minutes less than the box instructions.
  • Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the pepperoncini flakes along with the garlic and cook until just starting to turn very light golden brown, about 2 minutes, then turn up the heat slightly and add the shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until the bottom turns pink or opaque, 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn the shrimp over to finish cooking, about 1 minute. Add about 1/3 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and add it to the saute pan. Turn up the heat slightly and let cook to thicken the sauce, about 1 minute. Add the herbs, reserving about a teaspoon of each for garnish. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with the reserved herbs.

I used a different type of pasta, penne instead of spaghetti. It worked just as well.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the red pepper flakes. The dish was still very flavorful.
