Shrimp, Lemon, and Herb Fettuccine Recipe

Oh, my I love it, love it. It was so very good and super easy to make. This is one of the best recipes I have tried so far. Just a few minor changes. In lieu of white wine, I used sparkling white grape juice, also, I have no idea what kamut spaghetti is so I just used fettuccine. Lastly, the red pepper does give it quite a quick so you may want to half the amount if you are not a fan of spice, but it was just enough for me.

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add garlic and shrimp and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring rarely, until shrimp are cooked through and slightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully add wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. When the alcohol smell has cooked off, about 30 seconds, add red pepper flakes and lemon juice and stir to combine.
  3. Add reserved pasta, reserved cooking liquid, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, parsley, and lemon zest to the pan and stir to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve topped with Parmesan cheese.
