Recipe Instructions
Step 1: Boil the pasta
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, 4 to 6 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mise en place
Meanwhile, zest and juice the lemon. Halve the tomatoes. Mince the garlic. Finely chop the parsley leaves and stems. Pat the shrimp dry (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with S&P.
Step 3: Cook the shrimp
In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the shrimp* and chili flakes (start with ½). Cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through.
Step 4: Make the sauce
To the pan, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, tomatoes and parsley. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Step 5: Combine the pasta & serve
To the pan, add the pasta and ½ the reserved cooking water. Add the cheese and S&P. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency. Divide the pasta between your plates. Bon appétit!
