Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 205°C.

    Place the shrimp in a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well, spread them in a single layer, and bake for 6-8 minutes, until pink and cooked through.
  2. While the shrimp are baking, add a little olive oil to a large pot of boiling salted water, add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes.

    Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Quickly toss the pasta with melted butter, 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and about 1/2 cup of the remaining cooking water. Add the shrimp and serve hot.
