Pasta with Pancetta, Onion, Shrimp and Lemon
- 1 box (16 Oz. Box) Linguine Pasta
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil (Or More To Coat The Pan)
- 1/2 whole Red Onion, Diced
- 1 package (6 Oz. Package) Pancetta, Chopped Up
- 5 whole Lemons, Divided
- 2 whole Garlic Cloves
- 1 pound Shrimp (I Used Cooked Shrimp) (You Could Do 1/2 A Pound, But I Like Me A LOT Of Shrimps)
- 1/2 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4 cups Chopped Parsley
- Garlic Salt, to taste
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Start by boiling a pot of salted water and follow directions on the pasta box on how to cook pasta.
- Preheat a skillet to medium-medium high heat and coat with olive oil (about 1-2 Tablespoons).
- Throw in diced onions and pancetta.
- Cook until onions are translucent and pancetta is a little crispy on the edges.
- Add about 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper and squeeze one lemon over the onions and pancetta.
- Add garlic and shrimp.
- Add about 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and garlic salt.
- Then squeeze 2-3 lemons over the shrimp, onions, pancetta (I like the lemon flavor a lot, I like a lot of tang; if you dont, maybe use half the lemons that I did).
- Add red pepper flakes and butter and stir the shrimp.
- Saute for 5 minutes (I used already-cooked shrimp, so I basically cooked them to warm them through; if you are using raw shrimp, maybe cook 7-9 minutes).
- Once shrimp has cooked for about 5 minutes, add pasta and squeeze remaining lemons over the pasta.
- Also add a little more salt, pepper and garlic salt.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and mix it with the onions, pancetta and shrimp until cheese has melted.
- Top with chopped parsley.
- Turn the burner off and pull the skillet off heat.
- Serve into bowls and top with more grated parmesan if you would like.
- Enjoy!
