Lemon Shrimp Pasta
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
  • 1/2 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
1
Boil a substantial container of salted water until it reaches its maximum temperature. Prepare spaghetti by submerging it in the boiling water, stirring periodically to ensure even cooking, for 9 minutes. Introduce shrimp into the pot and continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes, or until they are fully cooked. Drain the pasta.
2
Combine Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, and salt in a large mixing vessel. Add cooked spaghetti, shrimp, and peas to the sauce mixture, stirring until everything is well incorporated. Sprinkle with basil leaves and a touch of lemon zest; thoroughly mix to coat the pasta evenly
