Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season it with 2 teaspoons of salt. Cook the spaghetti until just al dente, according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the noodles.

While the pasta cooks, thinly slice the green onions and finely mince the garlic. Pat the shrimp dry so they sear properly.

Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and turmeric. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until pink and just cooked through. Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
