One-Pot Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta

Just found a new weekday favorite recipe (even though today is Saturday) and I have to include it here on the blog, if only so I can revisit it myself next week. This Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta from Tasty isnt just quick but its also SUPER DUPER simple as its all made in one pot! Easy cleanup, heeeey!

Now its a lot of butter which makes it super yummy but feel free to omit some of it for a leaner version. Its was my first time cooking this and personally I think it was a bit on the greasy side, so will use less butter next time.

Give it a try and let me know how you like it!
