Ingredients Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces dried spaghetti or other long or thin pasta
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 5 large garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or more
  • 1 pound medium shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 large lemon juice and zest
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or more
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 ounces parmesan cheese freshly grated, optional

Notes

  • Use any long or slender pasta you like for this recipe. I switch back and forth on finishing this dish with parmesan cheese. Sometimes I want just the clean bright flavors of lemon and parsley with the sweet juicy shrimp. Up to you!
