Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Coarse salt 1/2 pound spaghetti 3/4 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined, roughly chopped 1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes 1/2 cup whole milk 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, divided, plus wedges for serving 1/4 pound ground white-meat chicken 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 4 cups chicken broth 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse shrimp until finely chopped. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs, red-pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in milk and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest. Fold in shrimp and chicken until just combined (do not overmix).

In a large pot, melt butter over medium. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add broth and 2 cups water and bring to a rapid simmer.

Drop shrimp mixture by heaping tablespoons into broth. Cook meatballs at a gentle simmer until opaque throughout, about 5 minutes, turning halfway through. Divide pasta among 4 bowls and top with broth and meatballs. Combine remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest with parsley and sprinkle over soup. Squeeze lemon wedges over soup and serve.

Cook’s Notes Adding a little ground chicken to these meatballs prevents the shrimp from becoming tough during cooking.
