A delightful and flavorful pasta dish featuring succulent shrimp, aromatic garlic, and a hint of spice.
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the spaghetti until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency later.
In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with lemon juice, parsley, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.
Let the shrimp marinate for at least 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the shrimp and cook until pink and firm, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
In the same skillet, add more olive oil, anchovy fillets, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the anchovies dissolve and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Toss the cooked spaghetti in the skillet with the garlic sauce until well coated. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and mix gently.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the mixture seems dry.
Serve the pasta on plates, garnished with fresh parsley and a wedge of lemon on the side.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
