🍝 Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta (One-Pan, 20 Minutes)

Ingredients (Serves 2–3):

• 8 oz spaghetti or linguine

• 1 lb shrimp (peeled & deveined)

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

• Salt & black pepper to taste

• Juice of ½ lemon

• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)

• Grated Parmesan, for topping

Instructions:

2. Cook shrimp: While pasta cooks, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté 30 seconds.

3. Add shrimp, season with salt & pepper, and cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through.

4. Toss pasta into the skillet with shrimp. Add a splash of pasta water and lemon juice to loosen the sauce.

5. Top with parsley and Parmesan. Done!

✅ Quick Variations:

• Swap shrimp for rotisserie chicken or canned tuna.

• Add frozen peas or spinach for a veggie boost.

• Use pre-cooked rice instead of pasta for a grain bowl version.
