Ingredients

  • 12 oz. spaghetti
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp. cayenne pepper flakes
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 lb. jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 ½ cups dry white wine
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley divided
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • Place a large pot of generously salted water over high heat. Allow this to come to a boil while you start the sauce with shrimp.
  • In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, warm 3 tablespoons of the oil. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the pepper flakes and continue to cook for another 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes and cook until they have softened, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add the wine to the skillet and allow it to reduce by about half. This should take about another 5 minutes.
  • As soon as you add the wine, drop the spaghetti into the boiling water. Lower the heat to a rolling simmer. Cook the pasta until just al-dente, approximately 7 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp to the sauce and cook until just starting to turn pink, turning over once, approximately 2 minutes.
  • While the shrimp is cooking, scoop out 1/4 cup of the pasta water and reserve to add to the sauce later. Drain the pasta in a colander.
  • Add the spaghetti and reserved cooking water to the sauce. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil, 1 tablespoon of parsley, and lemon juice.
  • Toss gently to combine and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Serve the spaghetti and shrimp in individual bowls making sure each bowl has an equal amount of shrimp.
  • Garnish each bowl with the remaining tablespoon of parsley.
