  3. Reduce heat to low. Add in remaining 3 Tbsp. oil to same skillet. Add in garlic and saute/fry till soft, about 1 minute. Stir in leeks, peperoncini, oregano, and lemon peel. Cover and cook till leeks are soft, about 3 min. Uncover; add in wine, lemon juice, and shrimp-shell liquid. Increase heat to high and boil till reduced by half, about 2 min. Remove from heat.
  4. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water till tender but still hard to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1 c. cooking liquid. Add in pasta and shrimp to skillet with sauce and toss to coat. Add in sufficient reserved cooking liquid to moisten if necessary. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl. Garnish with parsley.
