longer. Remove from the heat, add the butter, parsley,
and lemon zest and juice, and stir to combine. Set the
sauce aside.
Place the pasta in a large pot and cover with hot water.
Add a large pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high
heat, stirring occasionally to keep the pasta from sticking.
Continue to cook until the pasta is fully softened but
retains a slight bite in the center (about 1 minute less than
the box recommends after the pasta reaches a boil). Drain
the pasta, reserving ½ cup of cooking liquid, and return
to the pot, set over medium-low heat.
- Pour the sauce and shrimp over the pasta, add half of the
reserved pasta water, and stir until the sauce comes
together and coats the pasta, about 2 minutes, adding
more pasta water as necessary until the desired
consistency is reached. Season to taste with salt and
pepper and serve immediately.
