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.

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
ΒΌ cup olive oil, divided

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