Step 1

In a large pot with boiling water, cook the spaghetti pasta. In a skillet, add 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter. When the butter already melts, add in the minced garlic—cook for about a minute. Next, add the lemon zest followed by 1/3 cup of dry wine. Add a dash of salt and 1 & 1/2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir it around. Let it reduce by about half.

After this, start adding in the shrimp. Cook it for about two minutes or until the color of the shrimp changes. Turn over the shrimp when they change color. Chop up some parsley (about 2 tbsp). On a plate, add the cooked spaghetti. On top, add the shrimp, then finish it off with some freshly chopped parsley. (You can put a little lemon wedge on the side.)
