To start get everything in place. This isn't a lot of ingredients but once your pasta and shrimp are cooked things move quickly!

Cook your pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water

While the pasta starts to cook combine the 2/3 cup olive oil, lemon juice and zest and the cheese in a bowl.

Heat the 1 T of olive oil in a large skillet and cook the shrimp with some salt and pepper until opaque. This doesn't take long! I tried to start my shrimp with about 4 minutes left on my pasta.

Once the shrimp is cooked add your cooked pasta to the saucepan, the cheese, lemon, oil mixture, a dash of basil, the capers, and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water.

I kept my heat on for a few minutes just to make sure everything was heated through. Using tongs mix everything together allowing the pasta to soak up all the saucy goodness, adding more pasta water if you need it.
