This Rosemary Shrimp Pasta is effortlessly elegant yet quick and easy. Perfect for a mid-week dinner with friends or Saturday date night. The shrimp are stirred through pasta, dressed with a simple garlic and rosemary sauce. Everything comes together in the time it takes to cook pasta! Just six ingredients go into this recipe, but don't be fooled. The flavors in this dish are simple, but they work so well together. Garlic, shrimp, fragrant rosemary, and lemons work so well with the pasta.

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
While the water is coming to a boil, peel, and crush or finely chop the garlic.3 garlic cloves
Add the olive oil, chopped garlic, and chopped rosemary to a cold skillet and cook over low heat for 6-8 minutes until the garlic has softened.6 tbsp olive oil2 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh rosemary
Once the pasta water is boiling, add the salt and the pasta and cook until al dente.1 tbsp salt12 oz / 340 g pasta
Once the pasta is cooked, remove a cup of the pasta cooking water, add the peeled shrimps and stir well.1 pound / 450 g raw shrimp - peeled and deveined
Immediately drain the pasta and shrimp.
Place the pan back onto the heat, add the garlic and rosemary oil, and ¼ cup of the reserved pasta water.
Return the pasta and shrimp to the pan. Stir well over medium-high heat until everything is glossy and coated and the shrimp are cooked through. Add more pasta cooking water if it starts to look too dry.
Add the zest of the lemon and then season with salt and pepper (to taste) and serve immediately.1 lemon salt and pepper

Notes

Be sure to use fresh rosemary for this dish; dried rosemary won't give you the woody flavor that you need.
Long thin pasta noodles are perfect here, so go for spaghetti, linguine, angel hair, or fusilli lunghi.
Go for 20-25, which gives a serving of 10-12 smallish shrimp per person and makes sure they cook in the given time frame. If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are fully defrosted.
