HOW TO MAKE LEMON SHRIMP PASTA
Get a large pot of salted water boiling while you start the sauce. Melt the butter in a large skillet/frying pan then add the shrimp in batches until golden brown and opaque. I used frozen, deveined shrimp for this recipe and just removed the shells before cooking but you could use shelled prawns as well. Try to buy the very best shrimp you can afford because the difference is notable.
