HOW TO MAKE LEMON SHRIMP PASTA

white wine

🥗Healthier: chicken broth

💰Cheaper: vegetable broth

Chicken broth adds flavor without the cost of wine.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Cook spaghetti according to the instructions on the box.

Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.

Add red pepper flakes and minced garlic; stir for a few seconds.

Add shrimp to the pan and season lightly with salt.

Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp and sauté for a few seconds without cooking through.

Optionally, remove shrimp to prevent overcooking or cook until well done as preferred.

Add heavy cream, dried oregano, and white pepper to the pan; stir.

Increase heat to medium-high and cook until the cream sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Adjust seasoning with more salt and lemon juice if desired.

Add shrimp back to the pan if removed earlier; stir to combine.

Mix in chopped parsley and combine everything well.
