How to Make Lemon Shrimp With Pasta And Basil
- Cook 1 pound pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
- Add 4 cloves minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional), 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed, to create a creamy sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
