How to Make
Start by making the pasta. Boil water and place the pasta inside, and follow the package instructions. When finished, reserve ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and put it aside.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. When it's melted, put the shrimp and garlic inside. Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes each side.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, and let it simmer for another 2 minutes. Once the shrimp is pink and has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, it's done!
Add the spices and stir, allowing the flavors to meld.
Combine the pasta, pasta cooking water, and shrimp mixture. Toss to thoroughly mix, then enjoy!
Storage and Reheating
For any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat the leftovers, place them in an oven safe, covered dish and heat at 350 until the desired temperature is reached.
You can also use the microwave, but the oven method is preferred!
Use any kind of gluten free pasta you'd like! Jovial grain free pasta is a clean brand, or you could use veggie noodles such as zoodles.
