Shrimp Spaghetti in Olive Oil Dressing image

A light, flavorful, quick, and easy gourmet dinner. My husband was impressed, and I eye-balled most of it, but here's what I came up with. Has a little kick, but not enough to overwhelm the clean flavors of the fresh ingredients.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
¼ cup olive oil, divided
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach
1 zucchini, chopped
1 yellow squash, chopped
2 tablespoons pine nuts, or to taste
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 teaspoons lemon juice, divided
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and return spaghetti to the pot.

  • Heat another 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shrimp and 2 teaspoons lemon juice until shrimp are bright pink and centers are opaque, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, parsley, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir vegetable mixture, shrimp, and olive oil mixture into spaghetti until combined.

The shrimp were overcooked and the olive oil dressing was too oily.
