This recipe is easy to make but tastes gourmet, giving you a taste of the ocean with a touch of Italian elegance. This recipe serves two, making it ideal for a romantic dinner or a solo indulgence with leftovers. Here’s what you’ll need: 200g spaghetti 250g shrimp, peeled and deveined 3 tbsp olive oil 3 cloves of garlic, minced 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat) Salt and black pepper, to taste 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving (optional) Start by cooking the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until it’s al dente, around 8-10 minutes. Save a cup of pasta water before draining; you might need it to help create the perfect sauce consistency later on. While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re pink and opaque. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil along with the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about a minute until fragrant, but be careful not to let the garlic brown. Add the white wine (or chicken broth), scraping the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful bits. Let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes to reduce slightly. Now, return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, add the drained spaghetti, and toss everything together. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until the sauce lightly coats the pasta. This trick not only adds moisture but also helps bind the sauce to the spaghetti. Serve your shrimp spaghetti hot, topped with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. The combination of garlic, olive oil, and wine (or broth) brings out the natural sweetness of the shrimp, making every bite irresistible.
