- Prepare all ingredients before starting to cook.: Having everything ready to go will make the cooking process smoother.
- Cook pasta al dente.: Pasta should be firm to the bite for the best texture and to absorb the sauce well.
- Do not overcook shrimps.: Shrimps cook quickly and turn rubbery if overcooked. Keep an eye on them and remove from heat as soon as they turn pink.
- Blend basil oil thoroughly.: For a smoother and more consistent basil oil, make sure to blend until all ingredients are well combined.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.: Taste your dish as you go and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or extra lemon zest to your preference.
