"He cleared the dishes, topped up her champagne flute, and served their entrées, spaghetti con limone with capers and tiger shrimp. It was a rare treat and one of Julia's favourite’s, so it surprised her that he made it. Maybe Rachel had..."

The Professor treats Julia to a delicious dinner at his apartment after that disastrous seminar... Spaghetti al limone is indeed a great dish and during the twitter chat set up by THESUBCLUBbooks, The Professor told me it's also his favorite Italian dish. Gabriel is very good in the kitchen, but what if we wanted to invite him to dinner and surprise him? ;)
There are a lot of recipes to cook spaghetti al limone with capers and shrimps, but I'll suggest you an easy one that I tried and I can assure you that the result is truly delicious :)

Here it is:
(This recipe is meant for 4 servings)
Ingredients :
0,80 lb (370 gr) spaghetti
1 lemon
0,80 shrimps
0,10 lb of butter
4 spoons of fresh cream
a few capers
2 spoons of chopped parsley
Salt
To cook your spaghetti al limone :
-Boil for about 1 minute the shrimps in salted water and when they're ready, drain them.
-In a pan melt the butter and add 2 spoons of cream. Mix and turn off the stove. When the sauce is lukewarm, add the grated lemon peel and mix again. Then add the shrimps and the capers and mix. Add a large spoon of lemon juice. Mix and salt to taste.
-Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti al dente and drain.
-Switch on the stove where you've prepared the sauce, add the spaghetti to the sauce and sauté them for about 1 minute, adding the chopped parsley and the other 2 spoons of cream and then voilà! They're ready to be served :)
Now we’re ready to invite The Professor to dinner...*cough*KitchenTable*cough* *fans self*

It sounds delish, except for the shrimp. I don't do seafood. But everything else tempts my tastebuds so perhaps I'll try it minus the ocean dwelling critters.:) I'll let you know how it goes.;)
