Method

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. When it comes to a rolling boil, add the pasta and cook according to pack instructions until al dente (approximately 3-4 minutes). Heat a large sauté pan over a medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Thinly slice the chilli (deseed if you prefer) and crush the garlic through a garlic press. Add the chilli and garlic to the pan and sauté for a minute before adding the shrimp. Toss them for a further minute, season with salt and pepper before adding the white wine. Chop the tomato and add to the pan, allow to cook for 2 -3 minutes before chopping and adding the scallions. Shred the basil leaves and half to the pan. Drain the pasta and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil then grate over some fresh lemon zest. Add the pasta to the sauce and mix to coat evenly. Divide between 4 plates and serve immediately with a sprinkling of shredded basil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
