Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta.
Step 1
Start by bringing a generous pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once bubbling, introduce the spaghetti and let it cook for approximately nine minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 3
In the final three minutes of cooking, gently add the shrimp to the pot, allowing them to cook alongside the pasta.
Step 4
When everything is cooked to perfection, drain the spaghetti and shrimp together, letting the water escape.

In a spacious mixing bowl, combine freshly grated Parmesan cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, zesty lemon juice, a dash of black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Whisk these ingredients together until they form a harmonious blend.
Step 7
Next, add the drained spaghetti, succulent shrimp, and thawed peas to the bowl, tossing everything together until each strand of pasta and shrimp is beautifully coated in the sauce.
Step 8
To elevate the dish, finish with a sprinkle of fresh basil and a touch of lemon zest just before serving, adding a burst of flavor and color that will impress your guests.

Enjoy this delightful seafood pasta dish that brings a taste of the coast right to your table.
