Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Add shrimp, cook 2 minutes without stirring until edges start to pink, then stir and cook 1 minute more.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in white wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet. Add cherry tomatoes and simmer 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Toss in drained spaghetti with 0.5 cup reserved pasta water. Stir for 1 minute until sauce coats the pasta.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with flaky sea salt and a crack of black pepper.
