Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 Shallot, finely diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • ¼ cup Pasta Water
  • 1 lb Shrimp I used my favorite Red Agrentinian Shrimp for this recipe! (I used the whole bag)
  • 8 oz Pasta I used the Parpadelle Nests again - they've been my favorite recently!
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • ¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • Parsley and Parmesan to garnish Optional

Instructions
 

  • Boil your water for the pasta and cook your pasta according to the package directions.
  • Cook your shrimp in a medium pan on medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked. Add your salt and pepper once nearly cooked all the way. I like to set this aside once done cooking.
  • In the same pan on medium heat, melt your butter and saute your galric and shalltos until fragrant (1-2 minutes). Stir this together with the shrimp bits that were leftover to soak up all the delicious flavor!
  • Juice the lemon and add this to your pan. Add the pasta water and red pepper flakes here. Drop the heat to low and let this cook down for 1-2 minutes.
  • Once the pasta is done cooking, add it into the pan and let this all come together.
  • Top the pasta with your shrimp, parsley and parmesan. Enjoy!
