How to Make Lemon Garlic Shrimp Over Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of pasta (your choice of shape) and cook according to package directions, until almost al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 4 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add 1 pound of shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Add the zest of 1 lemon to the shrimp. Gently toss to combine.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.
- Return the pasta to the skillet. Add the cooked shrimp, garlic butter mixture, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss everything together, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Stir in the juice of 1 lemon. Serve immediately, garnished with extra lemon zest and parsley (optional). Enjoy with a side salad and crusty Italian bread!
