- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt

Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
While the spaghetti cooks, prepare the garlic shrimp. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4
Add the vegan shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and lightly golden.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegan shrimp with the spices.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the noodles in the garlic-infused sauce.
Step 8
Stir in the chopped parsley, mixing well, and remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 9
If desired, sprinkle the dish with vegan Parmesan before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper to taste.
