spring dinner idea: creamy lemon shrimp pasta 🌼 Ingredients
10 ounces pasta (l used gf fettuccine)
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream or thick almond milk Zest of 1/2 lemon, plus more for serving 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 cup spinach
16 ounces frozen shrimp, defrosted, cleaned and deveined Salt and pepper to taste 1/4-1/3 cup reserved pasta water
2 tosp lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced

Instructions
1. Make sure your shrimp are defrosted, cleaned, and deveined if necessary.
2. Begin by boiling water in a large pot for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, following package instructions.
Remember to reserve some pasta water before draining to potentially adjust the sauce consistency.
3. Start the cream sauce by heating 2 tbsp of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sauté shallot and garlic with a pinch of salt and a few twists of freshly cracked black pepper for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly caramelized.
Add the milk.
4. Slowly bring almond milk (or heavy cream) to a simmer, ensuring not to use high heat to avoid separation.
5. Lower the heat once the cream is gently bubbling, then add the remaining butter, lemon zest, parmesan, and salt. Stir until melted and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
6. Add the shrimp and spinach, tossing until the shrimp are fully cooked or reach an internal temperature of 145F. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water.
7. Add the pasta and toss, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the pasta. Continue to adjust the sauce thickness with additional pasta water if needed.
8. Portion into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves, a few tosp of lemon juice, lemon zest, cracked black pepper, and fresh parmesan. Serve warm.
