Instructions

Tutor's tips

•Use thawed shrimp and dry them well, because surface moisture makes them steam instead of sear.
•Choose thin spaghetti or angel hair for a true 20-minute dinner, since thicker pasta can push the timing longer.
•Add pasta water gradually. The starch helps the lemon-butter sauce cling without making the skillet watery.
