Method
- Boil the pasta in a large pan of salted water until al dente. Drain, reserving a ladleful of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, heat a sauté pan over a medium-high heat, then add the butter and oil. Once the butter starts to foam, toss in the shrimp. Crush the garlic into the pan and season well. Cook for around 2 minutes or until the garlic smells fragrant, then add the zest and juice of one of the lemons. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Stir the pasta and the reserved cooking water through the shrimp mixture. Cook over a low heat for a minute or so to combine the flavours. Finely chop and scatter over the chives, then taste and add more lemon juice if you think it needs it. Serve with a bitter leaf salad, if you like.
