Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your dish the best flavor.
Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your taste. If you like more garlic, add more. If you want it spicier, add some red pepper flakes.
Cook the pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Add the lemon juice and zest at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve their flavor.
Serve the dish immediately. This is when it will be at its best.
