Preparation

  1. Bring one gallon of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook as per box directions.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté bell peppers and shallots over medium heat until shallots are slightly brown. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Add in shrimp and sauté for 2 minutes, then add wine, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Cook until shrimp turn pink and are thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, cheese, and black pepper. Set aside.
  5. Reserve one cup of hot pasta water. Drain pasta. Place pasta in a large bowl.
  6. Add peppers, shallots, and olive oil to coat pasta. If the pasta does not appear to be thoroughly coated, add small amounts of additional olive oil until pasta is thoroughly coated.
  7. Add egg mixture to pasta. Stir quickly until eggs are cooked and pasta is well coated. If needed, add hot pasta water in small amounts to thin out the sauce.
  8. Place pasta on individual plates. Top each with shrimp only. Reserve sauce.
  9. Sprinkle shrimp and pasta with scallions and lemon zest.
  10. Drizzle reserved sauce on French bread slices.
