Method

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Slice garlic thin and slice red onion into thin strips. Cut zucchini into half-moons.

2

Add pasta to boiling water and cook until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.

3

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

4

Add red onion and zucchini; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5

Add shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side.

6

Add cooked pasta to the skillet with shrimp and vegetables. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a splash at a time until the dish is lightly sauced.

7

Finish with lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste.

8

Transfer to bowls or plates. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
