Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the scampi ingredients

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil for the bucatini. 

  • Rinse the shrimp, then drain on a paper-towel-lined plate and pat dry. Season the shrimp lightly with salt and pepper. 
  • Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic.
  • Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate. [Zest and juice 1 lemon; save the remaining lemon for another use.]
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.

2

Cook the bucatini

To the pot of boiling water, add the bucatini and cook until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the bucatini, reserving ½ cup [1 cup] pasta cooking water. While the bucatini cooks, start the scampi.

3

Cook the scampi

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until starting to turn pink but not yet cooked through, about 1 minute per side for shrimp, 1 to 2 minutes per side for jumbo shrimp. Transfer to a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium, stir the butter and garlic into the pan, and cook until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the parsley, reserved pasta cooking water, 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] lemon zest, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice, and as many chile flakes as you like. Add the shrimp and bucatini, remove from the heat, and toss until the shrimp is cooked through and the ingredients are combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. While the scampi cooks, prepare the salad.

4

Make the salad

In a large bowl, toss together the mixed greens and caper vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the scampi to individual bowls and serve the salad on the side.
