Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water. Drain the pasta in a colander and set aside. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 30 grams of butter. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn pink. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate. In the same skillet, add the remaining 15 grams of butter. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the lemon-garlic butter sauce. Add the cooked pasta and toss until everything is well-coated. Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish, and give it a final toss. Serve the Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta immediately, optionally garnished with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy this quick and delectable seafood pasta!
