Garlic and Shrimp Spaghetti

Instructions

• 1
  Boil the spaghetti in plenty of salted water (approximately 4-5 liters of water and 40 g of salt). Drain them, but reserve about 100 ml of the pasta water.
• 2
  Peel the shrimp (if not already peeled) and cut them into 2-4 pieces, depending on their size. In a small bowl, mix them with the lemon juice.
• 3
  Peel the garlic and slice it thinly. Slice the chili pepper into fine rounds.
• 4
  Place the olive oil in a cold pan, add the garlic and chili pepper, then heat the pan over medium heat. Sauté for 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour in the 100 ml of reserved pasta water and cook for another 4 minutes.
• 5
  Add the cooked pasta and shrimp pieces to the pan. Mix well until the shrimp are cooked (approximately 1 minute). Remove the pan from the heat, add the grated Parmesan and chopped parsley, then mix everything well.
