Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free spaghetti
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Pour in the reserved pasta cooking water, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate the flavors.
Return the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat in the garlic oil sauce.
Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently to combine.
Adjust seasoning with additional sea salt or black pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley, if desired.
