Don't let the simplicity of this recipe fool you. This is again one of the easiest spaghetti recipes, and yet one of the best tasting ones. It takes hardly around 15 minutes including the preparation time to have this delicious looking spaghetti on your dinner table. With minimal ingredients like shrimp, garlic, parsley & spaghetti, this is a great recipe when you are craving for some good food, but are short on supplies or time. You might notice that the recipe is almost the same as that of
Aglio E Olio that I had shared earlier. The addition of shrimp does add a nice flavor to it.
For us, students, with limited resources, and too lazy to cook dinner after a tiring day, this is a great recipe to try out.
So, here it is...Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti from the Boy who Cooks...

Course: Main
Taste: Garlicky
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients:
- 8 Cups water to boil the spaghetti
- 7-8 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Garlic cloves, thinly chopped
- 12-15 count raw medium shrimp
- Chilly flakes
- Finely chopped Parsley
- Parmesan cheese as needed
- Salt as needed
Recipe:
- Take the Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a cold pan and turn on the heat
- Add the tiny chopped garlic cloves immediately to the oil while it is still cold
- This way, the garlic is fried slowly, and it infuses more flavor to the oil
- After a couple of minutes, add the raw shrimp to the oil and fry it till it is well cooked
- Meanwhile, boil water in a vessel and add 2-3 teaspoon salt
- Add the Spaghetti to the boiling water and cook it until very al dente (around 12 min)
- As the garlic starts turning golden and the shrimp is cooked, add some chilly flakes to it. Wait until the right time to add the chilly flakes or else they might get burnt
- One the garlic are nicely fried (turned slightly golden) turn off the heat
- Drain the spaghetti water, reserving one cup of it if needed for later use
- Now, add the garlic oil mixture to the drained spaghetti and toss them properly
- Add the finely chopped parsley and parmesan too
- Mix it properly. If it is too dry, add some of the spaghetti water we reserved earlier. More often than not, you won't need to add the water
- Add some salt if needed
Garnish with parsley and parmesan. Serve warm.
