Lemon Butter Shrimp Pasta
Ingredients:
• 500g shrimp, cleaned & deveined
• 250g spaghetti or linguine
• 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp neutral oil
• 4 tbsp butter
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Juice of 1 lemon
• ¼ cup chopped parsley
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ⅛ tsp chilli flakes
• 1 cup pasta water (reserved)
Method:
1. Marinate the shrimp with baking soda, salt, pepper and chilli flakes for 10 minutes.
2. Cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
3. Heat neutral oil in a pan and cook the shrimp for 3–4 minutes until just done. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add the sliced garlic and cook until lightly golden.
5. Add butter and ½ cup pasta water, then toss in the cooked pasta. Let the sauce emulsify.
6. Add the shrimp back to the pan along with lemon juice, lemon zest and parsley.
7. Toss everything together, adding more pasta water if needed to create a silky sauce.
8. Serve immediately while hot.
Buttery, garlicky, bright with fresh lemon and ready in under 30 minutes. Perfect for a quick weeknight pasta dinner.
