Shrimp Aglio Olio

In a bowl, marinade shrimp in 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp of chopped garlic and lemon zest for 5-10 minutes.

In a pan, put about 4 tbsp olive oil and the rest of the garlic and chili flakes then turn on heat to low. Let the garlic turn slightly golden.

Meanwhile, in another pan, heat olive oil on high heat and cook the marinated shrimps for about 3-4 minutes or until pinkish to slightly brown. Toss in lemon juice to deglaze the pan.

Once the garlic have turned golden brown, toss in the cooked spaghetti in the garlic pan. Add the shrimps along with the lemony juices from that pan. Stir thoroughly until well combined.

Add some pasta water if needed to loosen up the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
