INGREDIENTS
5 oz Shrimp (approx. 140g)
3 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (approx. 85g, dry)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 Lemon (juiced and zested)
Pinch Red Pepper Flakes
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
Stir in the red pepper flakes, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest, tossing to combine thoroughly.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately, garnished with extra lemon zest if desired.
