Steps:
- Combine shrimp with next 6 ingredients and toss to coat shrimp evenly.
- Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat, then add half of the shrimp. Cook shrimp 3 minutes until pink and just firm. Remove shrimp to a warm platter and repeat process with remaining shrimp.
- Return pan to heat and reduce heat to medium low. Add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add anchovies, garlic, and pepper flakes to oil. Break up anchovies with a wooden spoon until they melt away into the oil and garlic mixture.
- Toss spaghetti in the pan with parsley and the garlic oil, then season with a little coarse salt, to your taste. Top servings of garlic and oil spaghetti with spicy shrimp and serve with Tomato and Onion Salad and Crusty Bread.
- Prep your garlic and parsley for aglio olio and set them, as well as drained pasta and remaining ingredients all within arm's reach of your stove top.
- The aroma will be intense! Cooked anchovies have a salted-nutty (rather than fishy) taste that compliments the garlic as it sweetens and softens.
- Toss the tomatoes and onions with the chopped parsley, oil, salt, and pepper. Let stand while you prepare dinner, about 20 minutes. Re-toss and serve salad with crusty bread for mopping up juices and oil.

Steps:
- Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water and stir. Cook until al dente, about 2 minutes less than the box instructions.
- Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the pepperoncini flakes along with the garlic and cook until just starting to turn very light golden brown, about 2 minutes, then turn up the heat slightly and add the shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until the bottom turns pink or opaque, 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn the shrimp over to finish cooking, about 1 minute. Add about 1/3 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and add it to the saute pan. Turn up the heat slightly and let cook to thicken the sauce, about 1 minute. Add the herbs, reserving about a teaspoon of each for garnish. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with the reserved herbs.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water before you drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a pot large enough to hold the pasta, such as a 12-inch saute pan or a large, shallow pot. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it just begins to turn golden on the edges-don't overcook it! Add the red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds more. Carefully add the reserved pasta-cooking water to the garlic and oil and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by about a third.
- Add the drained pasta to the garlic sauce and toss. Off the heat, add the parsley and Parmesan and toss well. Allow the pasta to rest off the heat for 5 minutes for the sauce to be absorbed. Taste for seasoning and serve warm with extra Parmesan on the side.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO OLIO WITH SPICY SHRIMP
Spaghetti with garlic and olive oil was, by far, my Italian grandfather's favorite dish and I ALWAYS think of him whenever I make it! For those of you with anchovy phobia, this dish works great with or without them. I've made it both ways. Be sure to adjust your salt accordingly if using the anchovies, because they add a lot of saltiness on their own.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente (about 7 minutes?).
- While pasta cooks, toss shrimp with lemon juice, parsley, pepper flakes, garlic, olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- Heat large skillet over medium hight heat, add shrimp, oil and spices and cook about 3 minutes or until its pink and slightly firm.
- Remove shrimp from pan and set aside, covered, to keep warm.
- At this point, you may pull out the whole, crushed cloves.
- I usually leave them.
- Lower heat to medium low and add the 1/4 cup of olive oil.
- Next, add anchovies, garlic and red pepper to oil.
- Be sure to break up the anchovies in the pan until they melt into the oil and garlic.
- Drain pasta and toss it in large bowl with garlic and olive oil mixture.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley, and top with the shrimp.
Tips:
- Use high-quality olive oil: The quality of the olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them rubbery.
- Use a large skillet: When making the pasta, use a large skillet so that the pasta has plenty of room to cook. This will help prevent the pasta from sticking together.
- Season the pasta water: When cooking the pasta, be sure to season the water with salt. This will help add flavor to the pasta.
- Add the pasta to the sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the sauce and toss to coat. This will help the pasta absorb the flavor of the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: When serving the dish, garnish it with fresh herbs such as basil or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Spaghetti aglio olio with spicy shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
