2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until shrimp are evenly coated.

2. In a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes (oil should be hot but not smoking). Add shrimp to the pot and spread in a single layer. Cook shrimp, without stirring, until the edges turn pink, about 1 minute.

3. Stir shrimp and cook until pink all over, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Turn off heat. Use tongs to transfer shrimp to a large plate.

4. Add garlic, red pepper flakes and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pot. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until garlic is just beginning to turn golden, 4 to 6 minutes.

5. Stir in water, broth, clam juice, pasta and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, for 12 minutes.

6. Continue cooking, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pot, until pasta is tender and sauce is thickened, 3 to 8 minutes longer. Remove from heat. (Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.)

7. Stir in lemon zest and juice, parsley and shrimp. Let sit until shrimp is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve.
