Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot. Add the spaghetti or linguine and cook until al dente according to the package directions, about 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Return the pot to medium heat and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the shrimp, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes in an even layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, just until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Transfer to a bowl along with any juices.

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil if the pot looks dry. Add the chopped onion and garlic, then cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion softens and the garlic is fragrant.
