Cooking Steps
- Marinate Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine thawed large shrimp with olive oil, lemon zest, parsley, minced garlic, sea salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated and let marinate for about 20 minutes.
- Cook Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Sear Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear marinated shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove and keep warm.
- Prepare Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and whisk together lemon juice, extra lemon zest, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and parsley until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Pour sauce over drained spaghetti. Toss gently to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving platter, top with seared shrimp, garnish with parsley and olive oil. Optionally pass extra grated cheese at the table.
