Ingredients
1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
Juice of 1 lemon
Directions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain the noodles and set them aside for a moment.
2. In a large skillet, warm up the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, stirring for about a minute until everything smells delicious and fragrant.
4. Next, add the shrimp to the pan, sprinkling with a little salt and pepper. Let the shrimp cook for 3 to 4 minutes, just until they turn pink and tender.
5. Time to bring it all together: gently toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the garlic shrimp mixture, making sure everything gets well coated.
6. Finish with a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top, and sprinkle on the chopped parsley. Give everything a quick toss and serve while it’s nice and hot.
