Ingredients
Coarse salt
Ground black pepper
12 oz Spaghetti
2 strips Bacon, chopped
8 oz Large peeled and deveined frozen shrimp
6 Scallions, sliced
2 clove Garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente, approximately 9-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, place the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and rendered, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the frozen shrimp to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are opaque and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss gently to combine with the shrimp and bacon.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. Add the sliced scallions and toss to distribute evenly. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste, then serve immediately.
