Shrimp Spaghetti  is one of our favorite choices for lunch or dinner. It is quick, flavorful and delicious.
I simply love the combination between the vegetables, a good amount of garlic, spicy chili pepper, lemon zest flavor and oregano. All these with buttery shrimps and drizzled over al-dente spaghetti. Simply amazing. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
