How to Make Citrusy Shrimp And Thin Spaghetti

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Stir in lemon juice, lime juice, frozen peas, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until peas are tender.
  5. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
  6. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
