Best Lemon Pasta With Roasted Shrimp Recipes

LEMON SPAGHETTI WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Make the shrimp: In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper; add to the preheated pan in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
• Make the pasta: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, parmesan and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl to blend.
• Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, shrimp and the reserved cooking liquid, adding it 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with the salt and pepper; stir in the basil. Garnish with the fried capers and more parmesan, if desired.

SHEET PAN LEMON GARLIC SHRIMP AND VEGETABLE LINGUINE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F. Line a large baking sheet (or 2 medium baking sheets) with parchment paper.
• Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cool water, and toss with olive oil if the shrimp and vegetables are not ready when the pasta is cooked. Keep warm. (Prepear and cook the shrimp and vegetables while the pasta is cooking!)
• Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel.
• Slice the zucchini. Clean out the bell pepper and slice into thin slices. Chop or slice the red onion. Slice the lemon into thin slices, and reserve the ends.
• Arrange the shrimp, sliced zucchini, grape tomatoes, and sliced bell peppers on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Arrange the 4 whole garlic cloves and sliced lemons on top (take note of where you put the garlic cloves so you can easily find them later!). Thinly slice the butter and arrange is over the baking sheet.
• Bake at 375F for 15 minutes, or until the shrimp is fully cooked and the vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove the garlic cloves and lemon slices from the sheet pan. Carefully transfer the baked shrimp, vegetables, and all the juices from the sheet pan to the pasta.
• Mash the roasted garlic cloves with a fork. Use a fork the squeeze excess lemon juice from the roasted lemon slices and from the lemon ends into the roasted garlic. Add this lemon-garlic mixture to the pasta and toss. Stir in fresh herbs.
