To start, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chili flakes, sautéing until fragrant. Toss in the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque. Add lemon and orange zest along with the juices, letting it simmer for a minute.

Transfer the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the noodles with the citrus-infused oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
