  • 1 lbBarilla spaghetti
  • 1 lbshrimp, peeled
  • 6garlic cloves, sliced
  • ⅓ cupGoya olive oil
  • ¼ cupparsley, chopped
  • 1lemon
  • ½ tspBadia crushed red pepper
  • 1 tspsalt

How to make it

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 Tbsp salt. Add the spaghetti and cook 1 minute less than the box says (usually 8–9 minutes). Scoop out 1 cup of the starchy water, then drain.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, peel the shrimp if needed and pat dry. Slice the garlic into thin coins. Chop the parsley. Cut the lemon in half.

  3. 3

    Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant, not brown. Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook 2 minutes, flip, 1 minute more until pink.

  4. 4

    Add the drained pasta, a splash of pasta water, lemon juice, and parsley. Toss 1 minute so the sauce coats every strand. Add more pasta water if it looks dry. Taste for salt. Serve at once.
