Shrimp Scampi with Rigatoni Pasta
Sautéed shrimp and tender rigatoni tossed in a zesty garlic-lemon sauce with a hint of spicy red pepper flakes and vibrant fresh parsley.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz raw shrimp
1.5 oz dry rigatoni pasta
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup baby spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rigatoni according to package directions until al dente.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining the noodles.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp, seasoning them with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 30 seconds until just beginning to wilt.
Add the cooked rigatoni, lemon juice, and the reserved pasta water to the skillet.
Toss everything together for 1 minute to allow the sauce to coat the pasta evenly.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese before serving.
