Savor the delightful marriage of succulent garlic-lemon shrimp with perfectly al dente spaghetti, crowned with a soft poached egg. This dish boasts a bright and zesty flavor profile, enhanced by fresh lemon and garlic, making it a balanced and satisfying option for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Shrimp
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 Lemon
1 large Egg
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, season lightly, and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving a small splash of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the shrimp and toss to combine.
In a separate small pan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a ramekin and gently slide it into the water. Poach the egg for about 3-4 minutes for a soft, runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Toss the cooked spaghetti with the garlic-lemon shrimp mixture, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed for moisture.
Plate the spaghetti and shrimp, then gently place the poached egg on top. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired before serving.
