Ingredients
| 1 lb | dried spaghetti |
|---|---|
| 3 tbsp | butter |
| 1 lb | peeled shrimp |
| 2 | garlic cloves, minced |
| 1/4 cup | white wine |
| 1 | lemon, zest and juice |
| 1/3 cup | freshly grated Parmesan cheese |
| 2 tbsp | chopped fresh parsley |
| 1/2 tsp | red pepper flakes |

Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season it liberally with salt and cook the pasta according to package directions.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, season it with salt and pepper, and cook until it turns bright pink on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp and cook for another minute. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the wine and cook until it begins to evaporate, another 2 minutes. In the meantime, stir in the lemon zest and juice.
Transfer the cooked pasta to the skillet. Add the Parmesan cheese, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Toss until everything is well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately.
