Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten-free spaghetti
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine (or gluten-free chicken broth)
- 0.25 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the dry white wine (or gluten-free chicken broth) and lemon juice; simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.
Add the red pepper flakes, cooked shrimp, and the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon zest, adjusting seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and lemon slices if desired.
