Ingredients
Directions
7 STEPS
1
Cook the tagliatelle pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, and then drain the pasta
2
While pasta is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the shrimp in a single layer until golden brown and opaque, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
4
Stir in the heavy cream, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until heated through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
6
Add the cooked tagliatelle pasta to the skillet, and toss gently to thoroughly coat the pasta with the sauce, adding reserved pasta cooking water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
7
Serve the Lemon-Garlic Shrimp Pasta immediately, garnished with extra chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
