Easy Lemon Shrimp Pasta

If you haven’t tried the delicious combination that is tangy lemon and shrimp, then you are in for a treat with this recipe. Lemon and shrimp were made to be together. The shrimp cooks up so quick and easily in just a skillet on your stovetop. We love to cook recipes with shrimp because you can have a whole bunch cooked in less than 10 minutes. 

Keep an eye on them, because they cook up fast. Adding shrimp to pasta is simple and a delicious flavor combination. My teenaged son at half of this bowl himself, I really had to take it away from him to save some for the rest of the family. That to me is a dinner win, they are eating it out of the serving platter before dinner is even served!
