Ingredients

• 8 ounces Whole-grain spaghetti
• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole-grain spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to break down and release their juices.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes, salt, ground black pepper, and fresh lemon juice. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 6

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, along with the drained spaghetti. Toss to coat everything evenly in the sauce. If needed, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh basil leaves, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the basil is wilted.

Step 8

Serve the shrimp pasta hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese (if using) and the remaining chopped basil. Enjoy!
