2. For the pasta: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for 8 minutes. Drain and reserve the pasta water.
3. While the pasta is cooking, whisk together the olive oil, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Toss the drained pasta with the lemon sauce, the shrimp and crabmeat and some of the reserved pasta water; add 1/4C at a time as needed to moisten. (I didn't need even a 1/4C) Add the S&P and basil and toss. Garnish with fried capers and more Parmesan cheese.
