Instructions

1 Season shrimp with salt and pepper. In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the
olive oil over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on each
side until almost cooked through. Remove the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
2 In the same pan, Add the remaining olive oil and the fennel and cook until soft;
about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant; about 30 seconds.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and
cook for 5 more minutes. Add the wine and the lemon zest and scrape the bottom
of the pan. Let the wine cook down for about 2 minutes and then add the shrimp
back to the pan to finish cooking; about 2 more minutes.
3 Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and
cook until 1 minute less than package instructions for al dente. Reserve 1 cup
of the pasta water and then drain. Add the spaghetti to the pan with the sauce,
toss to coat and cook for 1 more minute. If needed, add pasta water in small
amounts to loosen the sauce.
4 Garnish with parsley and the reserved fennel fronds and serve with lemon wedges.
5 Enjoy!
