Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Vegan spaghetti
- 8 oz Vegan shrimp
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Vegan Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the vegan spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set aside.
While the spaghetti cooks, prepare the garlic shrimp. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the vegan shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and lightly golden.
Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegan shrimp with the spices.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the reserved pasta water, lemon juice, and an additional tablespoon of olive oil. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the noodles in the garlic-infused sauce.
Stir in the chopped parsley, mixing well, and remove the skillet from the heat.
If desired, sprinkle the dish with vegan Parmesan before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper to taste.
Serve immediately in bowls and enjoy your Vegan Spaghetti with Garlic Shrimp!
