Lemon spaghetti with shrimp and crabmeat
Take on a Giada recipe
Cooking Instructions
- 1
For the shrimp: In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp and crabmeat with the S&P, then add to the pan in a single layer and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Set aside.

For the pasta: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for 8 minutes. Drain and reserve the pasta water.

While the pasta is cooking, whisk together the olive oil, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Toss the drained pasta with the lemon sauce, the shrimp and crabmeat and some of the reserved pasta water; add 1/4C at a time as needed to moisten. (I didn't need even a 1/4C) Add the S&P and basil and toss. Garnish with fried capers and more Parmesan cheese.

How to fry capers: Drain, rinse and dry capers well. Heat 1/4" vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add capers and fry for 2 minutes. They should pop open and get brown and crispy. Using a slotted spoon, remove them to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Crunch up to garnish.
