Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb raw peeled deveined large shrimp tails removed
  • 12 oz dry spaghetti broken in half
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 4 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine

  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in 5-quart Dutch oven over medium. Stir garlic and red pepper 30 seconds without browning.
  2. Add wine; simmer 2 minutes. Add broth and salt; boil.
  3. Add spaghetti; simmer uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often to separate strands. Add reserved water gradually if drying before almost tender.
  4. Fold in shrimp; simmer 3 to 5 minutes, turning through sauce, until opaque and 145°F, pasta tender, and some liquid still flowing around it.
