Spaghetti with Shrimp Piccata

Piccata is a classic Italian dish that’s traditionally made with chicken or veal, cooked in a tangy sauce of lemon, butter, and capers. It’s known for its bright and zesty flavors, and it’s a favorite for its simplicity and deliciousness. In this recipe, we’re giving it a twist by using shrimp instead. The shrimp adds a lovely sweetness that pairs perfectly with the lemony sauce.

Making Spaghetti with Shrimp Piccata is super easy. You’ll start by coating the shrimp in seasoned flour, then quickly sautéing them until they’re golden and tender. The sauce comes together in the same pan, which means fewer dishes to wash! Toss it all with spaghetti, and you’ve got a complete meal that’s sure to impress. Whether you’re cooking for family, friends, or just treating yourself, this dish is a winner. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out!
