1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

Rinse shrimp and pat dry; cut each shrimp into ½ inch pieces.
Add oil to a skillet large enough to hold all of the cooked pasta.

Add in shrimp and a big pinch of salt; cook/stir until the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes.
Add in lemon juice and wine; bring to a simmer; cook 2 minutes.
Stir in parsley; remove from heat.
Bring at least 4 quarts water to boil in a big pot.
Add in 2 tablespoons salt, then the pasta; stir well, gently pushing the pasta down until it is completely covered with water.
Cook over high heat, stirring often, until the pasta is al dente; drain pasta, reserving some cooking water.
Add the pasta to the skillet and toss over high heat 1 minute until well mixed.
Add a little of the cooking water, if needed.
Remove the ginger; serve immediately.
