She starts by roasting the peeled and deveined shrimp. While it’s cooking in the oven, she boils water for the pasta and adds some special ingredients. Garten uses her “really good” cappellini pasta for this recipe. While that’s boiling, she begins making her third (and final!) part of the meal, the flavorful sauce. She grates and squeezes lemon zest, lemon juice, and other ingredients herself.
Now it’s time to combine everything! “I love making the sauce in a big pot and adding the pasta to it so it soaks up the sauce and allows it to cook for a minute or so,” Garten explains. She first drains the pasta and then adds it to the pot. At this point, your kitchen should have a very nice lemon smell.
Once the shrimp is done, she pours it into the pot and tosses everything together. It’s light, delicious, and ready in just 25 minutes.
“We love this dish!!” one person commented. “We’ve been making cappellini for years and always just added shrimp. Now, let’s grill the shrimp. Thank you, Ina!”

You could also add some other subtleties like adding mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes or using bucatini pasta instead of cappellini.” Adjustments are suggested.
