400 grams of linguine or spaghetti noodles.
03 -
1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley.

4 minced garlic cloves.

The juice from one lemon.

1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil.

Salt and black pepper, to taste.

Grated Parmesan cheese to serve (optional).
# Instructions:
01 -
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook your linguine or spaghetti until they’re al dente, following the instructions on the package. Save about half a cup of the starchy water before draining.
02 -
Heat half of the olive oil over medium heat in a big skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for about a minute till it’s fragrant.
03 -
Add the shrimp to the pan, cooking them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink. Sprinkle in some black pepper, salt, and chili flakes if you like it spicy.
04 -
Pour the wine or broth and squeeze in the lemon juice. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
05 -
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the shrimp. Stir everything till it’s well-combined, adding some reserved pasta water if the sauce looks too thick.
06 -
Take the dish off the stove, mix in the fresh parsley. Serve it up with some Parmesan on top, if you’d like.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep the pasta water handy to get the sauce just the right texture.
02 -
Feel free to skip the Parmesan if you prefer it dairy-free.
