Step 1
Start by tossing the shrimp, sauce, lemon juice, and lemon peel together in a small saucepan. Warm everything over medium-low heat, giving it an occasional stir, just until it’s heated through—be careful not to let it boil. Once it’s ready, spoon the creamy shrimp mixture over your cooked pasta. Finish it off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a bright, fresh touch. Enjoy!

How to serve
Serve with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables to add freshness and crunch. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil on top enhances the color and adds a herbal note. Crusty bread on the side is great for soaking up any extra sauce.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of cream or pasta water to keep the sauce smooth and creamy. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the shrimp and sauce may change.
