This dish is inspired by one of my favorite pasta places in New York City – Il Corallo Trattoria in Soho. When I went there for the first time, I was blown away by the simplicity but deliciousness of their Capellini Limone. This recipe is meant to recreate the dish at home. While it is not exactly the same, I think that I was able to capture the essence of the dish: clean and fresh flavors, simple, and feels like summer.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 box of angel hair pasta
- 1/2 lb of shrimp, peeled and deveined

Direction:
