This Shrimp with Lemon Pasta recipe is one of Dan's personal favorite ways to enjoy his World-Class shrimp. This recipe takes 20 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of cooking.
Directions
In a bowl, combine the shrimp, garlic, zest, juice, parsley, salt, pepper and old bay. Mix and make sure all the shrimp is coated. Allow it to sit for a few minutes. Place it in the fridge. Keep the shrimp cold.
Next, over a medium high heat, add the oil and let it get hot. Then add the shrimp and lightly sear it. Don't move the shrimp around, let them sit until they get a little color and then flip them. About two minutes. Repeat on other side and remove. Shrimp should be slightly undercooked.
Directions For The Sauce
Let the pan cool some and drop the heat to medium. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Then add the garlic, zest and juice. Let sit for about a minute and then add the shrimp back in. Let the shrimp finish cooking in the sauce. This allows some shrimp flavor to get into the sauce. About two minutes. Remove, and then the shrimp and sauce are done.
Directions For Pasta
Follow the directions for whatever kind of pasta you choose. Just make sure the water is salty. Once pasta is cooked, drain and immediately add to the sauce. Mix until all the sauce is absorbed into the pasta. Mix the parsley in at the end.
Additional Notes
- For serving, can mix shrimp with pasta in a bowl or serve them separately, side by side on a plate. Can garnish with lemon slices and a little extra parsley.
- Can add additional lemon juice and zest at any point. Seafood and lemon compliment each other well! You can do the same with Old Bay or even use it as an additional garnish.
