Your Jr. Chef can make fast lemon-parsley shrimp pasta


Okay to sub ww (or GF) pasta (spaghetti, thin spaghetti, linguini, etc). Sauce of garlic, white wine, butter, lemon zest, red pepper flakes (ok to reduce/increase amt). Shrimp-cooking hint: pat dry cleaned raw shrimp before cooking. Recipe calls for Large shrimp…. if you use smaller sizes, reduce cooking time accordingly, otherwise you’ll end up with Pink Pearl Eraser shrimp (ugh). If you use precooked shrimp (ONLY in a pinch: will be relatively flavorless), add to the finished sauce. Mix in parsley at the end and 1/4 C grated parm (cheap stuff) if you’d like a light cheese sauce. Serve with greens or decorate pasta with cooked vegetables. Parental supervision.
