Directions

  • Cook the pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.

  • Preparing the shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

    Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half.

    Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Season and mix: Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. 
    Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and stir to heat through.
  • Assembly: Place the cooked pasta on individual plates and cover with the shrimp and lemon sauce. 
    If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
