Yummy! My kids loved it! A definite win on busy nights!
That’s awesome! Always looking for quick meals. How do you manage to get your kids to eat shrimp? Mine won’t touch it!
Delicious! I added some red pepper flakes for an extra kick!
I love the idea of adding red pepper flakes! It really enhances the flavor. I’ll try that next time!
Red pepper flakes? Really? I don’t think it goes with shrimp. Seems a bit odd to me.
Not sure why ppl rave about this. I followed exact steps and it tasted bland. 🤷♂️
This recipe was amazing! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the lemon really gives it a fresh taste.
It’s just pasta and shrimp, not really a ‘recipe,’ come on! I could have figured this out myself.
Wasn’t great, but it was okay. Next time, I might try with different seafood.
I feel you! Sometimes the seafood can be hit or miss. What kind were you thinking to try next?
Quick and easy to make, but the garlic flavor was way too strong. I’m not sure if I’ll make it again.
5 stars! This is going into my regular dinner rotation. Love it!
I tried this and it was too sour for me. I think less lemon would be better.
Sour? Nah, that’s just the flavor! You gotta embrace the zest! 😜
I totally get that! The lemon can be really strong. Maybe try using half as much next time? 😄
