Preparation

  1. Boil pasta as per the instruction in the packet. While the pasta is half done prepare the sauce, we do not want to drain and let the pasta dry for long. 
  2. In a Fry pan or wok heat the oil in lowest flame
  3. Saute garlic, chili flakes for few seconds and add in the shrimp. Do not over cook. Turn the shrimps and cook on the other side we just need the color to change.
  4. Immediately add lemon juice, zest/rind, wine and salt. Give a nice toss. Let them sit for 30 seconds. Add little Pasta boiled water as well.

Notes:
  • You may use mozzarella or other cheese you have
  • Do not over cook or under cook the pasta. Keep checking once it reaches the cooking time as per the instruction
  • I have used garlic parsley powder and other dried herbs. Do not use too much little pinches of each herb is sufficient.
