Pasta with Shrimp and Lemon Oil




I follow this kitchen blog Live Love Pasta for about four years. And I love this blog written by Kara, Kelly and Cliff, since they always have simple recipe that easy to read. Yes to read, because I never challenge myself to try their recipes. But I love to read the recipes because everything are so yummy and look like easy.

My boys like pasta. And this recipe include arugula, and I love arugula. I never make pasta with the combination of shrimp and lemon. And i just love to try it, aside every excuses I made at previous. So I follow the recipe, i forgot parsley but I don't think it made any different. I didn't have big shallot so I picked 4 small shallots instead of two. And eventually 500 grams of spaghetti are really much. And I made plenty of pasta that could feed a small village.

Notes:
1. I forget my parsley but it's okay
2. I wasn't using juicer to get the lemon juice, I just squeezed the lemon and zest it with small grater
3. If you want to make a whole recipe, please use big skillet
4. Sprinkle chilli powder and parmesan cheese for more tasty pasta.
