Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 12 ounces linguine and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2: Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then add 1 pound shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Step 3: Add the drained linguine to the skillet with the shrimp. Stir in 1/4 cup reserved pasta water, 1 lemon (zested and juiced), and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Toss vigorously for 1 minute until sauce coats the pasta, adding more pasta water if needed. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
