How To Make shrimp and pasta - connie's

Test Kitchen Tips

After marinating the shrimp, there is not much marinade to discard. The butter hardens against the cool shrimp. But, that's OK. It adds more buttery goodness to the recipe.

Step 1

Melt butter and pour in a marinade bowl or plastic bag.

Step 2

Add shrimp, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic to the shrimp in the bag/bowl. Marinate for 1/2 hour.
Step 3

Chop scallions. Saute in olive oil until soft.
Step 4

Drain shrimp and discard marinade. Add shrimp to scallions and cook until the shrimp turn pink.
Step 5

Cook pasta as directed on the package. Drain pasta reserving a cup of pasta water.
Step 6

Add reserved pasta water to shrimp and scallions.
Step 7

Put drained pasta into shrimp and scallions. Add a few pats of extra butter, a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8

Squeeze lemon juice over top
Step 9

Garnish with lemon slices and parsley flakes. Enjoy.
