How dinner comes together

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Mince the garlic and shallot, chop the parsley, zest the lemon and pat the shrimp very dry.

2. 2

   Cook the spaghetti until 1 minute shy of al dente, adding the peas for the final 2 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium-high. Arrange the shrimp in one layer and cook 2 minutes; flip and cook until opaque and 145°F, about 1 minute more. Transfer immediately to a plate.

4. 4

   Lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining oil and shallot; cook 2 minutes. Add the garlic and lemon zest and stir just until fragrant, 30 seconds, without browning the garlic.

5. 5

   Add the drained pasta, peas and 1/2 cup reserved water. Toss vigorously until the liquid turns glossy and coats the spaghetti, adding more water a splash at a time, 1–2 minutes.

6. 6

   Take off the heat. Fold in the shrimp, parsley and lemon juice, then season with salt and black pepper; serve immediately.
