I wasn’t expecting this to turn out as well as it did, but it was absolutely incredible. For even more flavor, marinate your shrimp in olive oil, garlic, and lemon!
1. Cook your pasta in heavily salted water until al dente. Reserve a cup or two of pasta water and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, coat your shrimp in about a tbsp of olive oil. Season with Tony’s, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Toss to combine.
3. In a large saucepan, heat a touch of olive oil over medium-low heat. Once hot, add in your shrimp and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, be careful not to overcook the shrimp or they will turn rubbery. Remove from pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, melt your butter. Add in another touch of olive oil. Throw in your garlic and red pepper, to taste. Saute for about a minute or two.
5. Pour in your white wine and season with salt. Stir and let simmer for about 5 minutes, or until reduced by half.
6. Add in your cooked pasta, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir.
7. Add in your cooked shrimp, about 3/4 cup pasta water, parmesan, and parsley. Stir continuously until fully combined and the sauce is nice and glossy. You might need to add a touch more pasta water to reach the desired silkiness of the sauce.
8. Serve and top with extra red pepper, lemon juice, and parmesan. Enjoy!
