Ingredients
- 1 pound dried spaghetti
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for finishing
- 1/2 teaspoon dried pepperoncini flakes
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 pound extra-large shrimp, peeled, deveined and butterflied
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Instructions
- Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water and stir. Cook until al dente, about 2 minutes less than the box instructions.
- Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the pepperoncini flakes along with the garlic and cook until just starting to turn very light golden brown, about 2 minutes, then turn up the heat slightly and add the shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until the bottom turns pink or opaque, 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn the shrimp over to finish cooking, about 1 minute. Add about 1/3 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and add it to the saute pan. Turn up the heat slightly and let cook to thicken the sauce, about 1 minute. Add the herbs, reserving about a teaspoon of each for garnish. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with the reserved herbs.

Fantastic and fast! So much flavor! We love this!
This was so easy & super delicious! I used half shrimp & half scallops and used 1 tablespoon dried rosemary because I did not have fresh. We grated a little fresh parm over the finished dish. I will be making this again and again!
This was by far the best shrimp and spaghetti agile e olio recipe I’ve even made. It was not only delicious, but made with extra virgin olive oil – which is healthier. This recipe should be 10 stars. I’ve order this recipe in many restaurants (and I live in an area (New Haven) that has the best restaurants. This recipe is better than all that I’ve ordered. I should be 10 stars.
Elegant and simple. Thanks GZ for another great recipe!
This was an easy delicious meal! Everyone in the family enjoys this! Simply amazing!
Amazing!!!
So quick to prepare and tasted great!
This was a delicious dish, that I was able to make with ingredients on hand, I added some slivered asparagus as I did not have all the fresh herbs except basil.
Excellent and quick! I added some Old Bay seasoning, spinach and sun dried tomatoes, zest and juice of a lemon at the end.
This dish is simple to make but packs a lot of flavor! Great recipe.
