Ingredients:
- 450 g (16-20 pcs.) peeled and gutted shrimp (remove tails)
- 450 g of spiral pasta
- 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups diced long seedless cucumber
- 5 lemons, halved
- 2 teaspoons of honey
- 1 cup fresh dill (chopped leaves, save stems)
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, combine the juice of 3 lemons, honey, and chopped dill. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the dressing emulsifies. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the juice of the remaining 2 lemons, dill stems, and 1/2 cup salt. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl with the dressing. Stir to combine.
- Bring the shrimp liquid back to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 9-10 minutes. Drain and rinse the pasta under cold water to stop the cooking and cool. Remove the dill stems.
