How to Make Lemon Shrimp Pasta - So Easy!

Knowing how to make a lemon shrimp pasta is not nearly as hard as you'd think! For this authentic version I'm using just a few ingredients and dinner is ready in just 20 minutes. If you're new to cooking shrimp, I explain step by step how to make this amazingly easy Italian shrimp pasta recipe. I break it down so simply that you can even follow along! I offer helpful tips along the way, like when it's best to add the lemon... or what if you don't have fresh lemon?
This recipe is super flexible and you can swap ingredients or adjust quantities.
Here are the ingredients needed:
Long pasta - I used spaghetti, but linguini or fettuccini work great too.
Extra virgin olive oil - I don't use butter or any cream as my recipe is more of a Southern Italian dish, but if you want to add some butter or swap the olive oil out with butter you can.
Garlic - a few cloves is all that's needed
Parsley - Italian parsley is best, but regular curly works too
Lemon or lemon juice
Red pepper flakes (optional)

Great recipe! Nice change from heavier sauces especially for warmer weather! I didn’t have parsley so just minced some arugula I had and it worked but didn’t add a lot of flavor. Next time I’ll measure my lemon juice though… I added too much for my taste. Can’t wait to make again!

Thanks Maria! I'm surprised the arugula didn't add much flavor - I think I might try that next time!😀
