Cooking method

Cooking time: 20 min

Step 1:

Gather your ingredients.
Step 2:

Chop the fresh herbs.
Step 3:

Finely chop the garlic or press it through a garlic press. Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 4:

Everything is prepped and ready to cook.
Step 5:

Bring a pot of water to a boil, salt it, and add the spaghetti. Cook until al dente.
Step 6:

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet, add the green onion and garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute.
Step 7:

Add the shrimp and sauté with the onion and garlic for 2 minutes.
Step 8:

Pour in the lemon juice (or wine vinegar), add the basil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. If you're not keeping it meatless, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter for extra richness and aroma. Stir and cook for another minute. Add the parsley at the end, stir, and remove from the heat.
Step 9:

Drain the cooked spaghetti in a colander, return it to the pot, add half of the sautéed shrimp, and toss to combine. Serve topped with the rest of the shrimp.
