Directions
- Cook the Pasta: Prepare the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining the cooked pasta, then set it aside.
- Sauté the Garlic and Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic slices and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque (about 2-3 minutes per side). Sprinkle Dash® Pasta Blend Spicy Italian Seasoning over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
- Combine with Pasta: Lower the heat and add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Pour in the reserved pasta water a little at a time to loosen the mixture, tossing to coat.
- Finish the Dish: Stir in fresh parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the pasta. Toss again to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Serve: Plate the pasta and shrimp. Optionally, top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a savory touch.
Tips
- Recipe Tips: For the best flavor, toss the pasta and shrimp together immediately after cooking while the pan is still warm. This allows the Dash® Pasta Blend Spicy Italian Seasoning to coat every bite evenly, enhancing the dish's bold and zesty taste.
