Check out this beautiful dish! It’s not just a feast for your taste buds, but also for your eyes.
Ingredients
- 8 oz spaghetti or your favorite pasta
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by cooking your spaghetti according to package instructions. Make sure to salt that water for extra flavor!
- While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute – you want it fragrant but not burnt.
- Next, toss in the shrimp. Season them with salt and pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add the lemon juice and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to concentrate the flavor.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss it in the lemon-garlic sauce. Then, return the shrimp back into the skillet and mix everything together.
- Finally, sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and stir it up until it’s well combined. If it looks a little dry, feel free to add a splash of pasta water to loosen it up.
- Serve up your Lemon Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Pasta hot, garnished with chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if you’re feeling fancy!
And there you have it! A dish that’s bursting with flavor and sure to make everyone at the table smile. Hope you enjoy making (and eating) this delightful pasta as much as I do!
