Ingredients

For the lemon oil:

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zested

For the pasta:

  • 1 pound linguine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 shallots, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 16 ounces frozen shrimp
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 ounces arugula (about 3 packed cups)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

For the lemon oil:

Combine the olive oil and the lemon zest in a small bowl and reserve.

For the pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

Meanwhile, in a large, heavy skillet warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked linguine, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. Turn off the heat and add the arugula. Using a mesh sieve, strain the lemon zest out of the reserved lemon olive oil and add the oil to the pasta. The zest can be discarded. Add the chopped parsley to the pasta and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

    Fantastic!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is a fabulous dish that got rave reviews from all who tried it. Didn't have arugula on hand, but it was still... delicious. Am making it again tonight -- this time with arugula. I assume it will only be better. Thanks, Giada!Read more

    MUST Try

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe was so delicious, quick, healthy, and easy! I doubled the shrimp and added parmesan on top and it came out... perfectly. I also kept the lemon zest in the oil and substituted baby spinach for arugula. Will make again!Read more

    Wonderful

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We loved this recipe. The only one who had a bit of a problem was my 15 yearold did not like the lemony flavor to much. ... Next time i'll just reduce the lemon to half and add the pasta water at the end along with the olive oil. Overall great recipe.Read more
