Last-Minute Lemon Spaghetti and Shrimp

spaghetti

Parmesan cheese

olive oil

lemon juice

salt

black pepper

peas, defrosted

basil

lemon zest

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 9 minutes. Add shrimp and cook for 3 minutes more. Drain.


Whisk together Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add spaghetti, shrimp, and peas to the sauce. Sprinkle with basil and lemon zest and toss to coat.


This recipe was so quick to put together and we loved the flavor! The lemon and basil worked perfectly with the shrimp and pasta.  I would have given it five stars, but, I think the ingredient ratio was off for the amount of pasta used.  I used 1 lb. of shrimp instead of half pound and  a full cup of peas.  I honestly think I could have used another half cup to  cup of peas.  I also cooked my shrimp in a frying pan with olive oil salt and pepper  while the pasta was boiling just  because it gives the shrimp more flavor than boiling.  Thanks for the recipe!

I added in spinach too. A quick saute with chili flakes to get the hint of spiciness.

I also used a pound of shrimp and 15 oz of peas to balance out with pasta.

This was a delicious recipe. I followed some of the suggestions and added more peas and extra shrimp. I might try cutting this recipe in half since there are only 2 of us.

So fast and easy, and my 20-something boys LOVED it!!! This will definitely be a go-to recipe for last minute meals.

Really good and very easy. I also sautéed the shrimp in garlic before combining all together. We ll make again!

Great quick last minute meal! I did saute shrimp instead of boiling with pasta but that was just personal preference and not necessary if you're in a time crunch.

Amazing !  Tasty fast and presents very nicely.

This was good and definitely easy to make. My only complaint is that the quantities were way off. I would reduce the amount of spaghetti to 1/2 pound and increase the amount of shrimp to one pound. Also I would add more peas. Will certainly make this dish again with my edits.
