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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Return the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat in the garlic oil sauce.
Step 7
Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently to combine.
Step 8
Adjust seasoning with additional sea salt or black pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley, if desired.
