Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 8 oz spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.

  2. Step 2

    While pasta cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they soften and release juices, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add 1/2 lb shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. Step 5

    Toss in the cooked spaghetti with 2 tbsp parsley and a splash of reserved pasta water to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
