LEMON SHRIMP WITH PASTA AND BASIL



Lemon Shrimp With Pasta and Basil image

This takes no time at all to prepare.It looks like you've cooked all day! So easy, so basic, so fragrant This works well with chicken also. I sometimes prepare this with both the chicken and the shrimp, but I make a little more sauce, and I will add a little chicken broth to the sauce.
