Lemon Pappardelle with Shrimp! Creamy, lemony, silky pasta piled high in a bowl with buttery shrimp and freshly cracked black pepper. Everything you need for date night! ❤️ 

Date Night Lemon Pappardelle with Shrimp

shrimp

butter, divided

fresh garlic, grated (less than one clove)

white wine (I usually eyeball it)

heavy cream

salt

Parmesan cheese (optional)

lemon juice

pappardelle

black pepper

Pasta

Cook according to package directions (add a big pinch of salt to your water for better-tasting pasta). Drain and reserve some water. Toss pasta with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Lemon Pasta Step 1

Sauce

Melt 2-3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the garlic; sauté for 1-2 minutes (do not brown the garlic). Add the wine; let it sizzle out for a few minutes. Add the cream; bring to a simmer. Add the lemon juice, salt, and optional Parmesan; bring down to low heat.

Lemon Pasta Step 2

Shrimp

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt, and flip when pink (1-2 minutes per side). Cover with foil and set aside.

Lemon Pasta Step 3

Assemble

Toss your pasta with the warm sauce. Serve alongside a pile of fresh, juicy, hot, buttery shrimp. Serve with freshly cracked black pepper and little wedges of lemon. Ooooh baby.

Lemon Pasta Step 4

What a great and simple idea for a date night. Thanks for sharing.

No flavor to the shrimp! No red pepper? No brining? Basil, anything. Very bland, sorry.

I was nervous about blandness too, but the garlic, lemon, and parmesan made this both delicate and delicious.

This recipe looks delish! But can I ask a potentially dumb question?  Why don't chefs, restaurants... etc.  take the tails of shrimp?  Especially when its a dish like this, with twirly pasta?? I have never understood this.  Do people actually eat the tails?

Thank you for this recipe. I haven’t cooked this dish before. Today I’ll try to cook

Made this tonight. So fast, easy and delicious.

This looks so delicious! I’m inspired, and I’ve been thinking about what to make for Valentine’s Day. This could be the winner!

The recipe was delicious! My husband, four year old, and two year old loved it! Thanks!!!!

This was excellent.  Made it for Valentine’s Day for my 93 year old mom and husband. Huge hit!  Had 12 Oz pasta so increased sauce by half. This would be great even without the shrimp.

This was sooo delicious! Best pasta dish I’ve ever made. Thank you so much!

So simple, yet so good! Quick recipe and creamy, but not too creamy. I used chicken broth instead of white wine, since I didn’t have any wine and I finished the fish off with more ground pepper, fresh parsley, Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Will definitely be making again!

This is delicious. It’s restaurant worthy and so easy to make. We’ll make this often.

My husband I loved this dish!  The sauce paired well with the shrimp. Loved the lemon, I used 2T and added the optional Parmesan!  We will definitely make this again!

Hello! I’m excited to try this recipe tonight! (I’ll be using red wine instead of white so I hope it goes well) Stupid question: when you reserve some of the water from cooking the pasta, do you let the pasta sit in it while you’re cooking the shrimp? Or do you set aside some of the pasta water for the sauce? It’s not clear in the recipe. Thanks!

Cajun Garlic Lemon Butter Shrimp with Caramelized Corn Polenta.

sweet corn, kernels

milk

dry polenta

parmesan cheese

salt and pepper

shrimp, peeled, deveined,

cajun seasoning

garlic,

basil

juice lemon

Add the butter to a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the corn and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cook 5-8 minutes or until the corn has browned lightly and caramelized.

Bring 1 1/2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups milk to a low boil in a medium size pot. Whisk in the polenta and cook 15-20 minutes until thickened. Stir in the parmesan cheese and corn, season with salt and pepper to taste.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Add the shrimp, cajun seasoning and a large pinch of pepper. Cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Stir in the garlic and continue to cook the shrimp in the butter until the garlic begins to caramelize and turn a LIGHT golden brown, about another minute or two. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil and lemon juice. If needed, season to taste with salt.

Serve the shrimp over the polenta, spooning any sauce left in the pan over the shrimp. EAT!

Caramelized Corn Polenta

These grilled shrimp skewers are so quick and easy to make and wonderfully flavored with a lemon and herb marinade.

Lemon (for serving)

Place the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, paprika and garlic powder in a large bowl; whisk to combine.

Lemon Pepper Shrimp and Orzo comes together in one skillet for an easy, streamlined weeknight dinner. Light, yet super flavorful, and sure to become a family favorite.

One Skillet Lemon Pepper Shrimp and Orzo

Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

lb. raw peeled and deveined shrimp

kosher salt, divided

shallots

garlic cloves,

dry orzo pasta

lower-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

spinach

lemon

Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley

Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel, and season evenly with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. black pepper.Heat 1 Tbsp. each of butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Arrange shrimp in skillet, avoiding any overlap; cook 3 minutes, flip, and cook 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.(Note: cook shrimp in two separate batches if skillet isn&#39;t large enough.)

Add remaining 1 Tbsp. each of butter and olive oil to pan. Add shallots and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until aromatic. Add orzo, stir to coat; cook 1 to 2 minutes, to lightly toast grains.Add broth, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 3/4 tsp. cracked black pepper; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and gently simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until orzo is al dente and most liquid is absorbed.During the final few minutes, stir in spinach or asparagus. Cover and continue cooking until spinach is wilted (or asparagus is tender with still some bite). Uncover and stir in lemon zest and juice.

Nestle shrimp back into skillet and garnish with fresh parsley and extra cracked black pepper, if desired.*I also love to garnish this dish with sautéed lemon slices, however it&#39;s simply for aesthetics.

This was great!! One strong recommendation would be not to add as much chicken stock. Our pasta ended up "soupy," and we used some cornstarch (recommended by another commenter!) to help thicken. After reading the other comments we decided to use less lemon than suggested, but next time I think I'll use the recommended amount. All in all, still came out DELICIOUS. I will definitely be making this again. &lt;3

This was so delicious.  My husband and I loved it.  Prepared as written.  So Good.  Will make again and again.

Inedible. It unfortunately went in the bin. The lemon was way too much, my partner's stomach is in ribbons.

Good but super lemony, next time i will probably halve the amount of lemon, and I love lemon.

This is such a simple, delicious dish!!  Have made it already several times for our family Sunday night dinner

Delish and oh so quick! We added mushrooms.

Great recipe
Quick and easy and delicious

I loved cooking this, I personally think juice and zest of 1 lemon is too much maybe a squirt of lemon when served would be best as I found it took away the taste and made it tarte

Very tasty. Easy to assemble. Found it to be similar, in a way, to a risotto. We made this with the addition of some soft goat cheese (plain Kirkland Signature from Costco), which added a delightful creaminess and some extra richness. Much enjoyed and leftovers for lunch the following day. Reheated well!

Super easy to make and it’s sooo delicious! I added Old Bay to the shrimp with the salt and pepper, and Old Bay and a little bit of chicken bullion instead of salt to the chicken broth. I served it with a tiny bit of freshly shredded parmesan and red chili flakes for a little kick.

This was really good  and easy!     I had smaller amounts of both spinach and asparagus so I used spinach in dish and cooked asparagus and some left over mushrooms on the side and added it later....Was delicious.   Great way to use up bits and pieces.   I added a little cornstarch because it was a little liquidy but next time I'll use a little more orzo 
I forwarded link to my kids.... I think they were a little turned off by the picture hehe (I found through video on instagram)  but hope they try it.

Loved this.  Moved to our favorites folder!

There is nothing ordinary about this Creamy Lemon Dill Shrimp. Fabulous and full of flavor, this shrimp is ah-mazing on its own or over your favorite rice or pasta. Switch up your same old, same old shrimp recipe for this one today! 

Creamy Lemon Dill Shrimp

butter (divided)

garlic

chicken broth

heavy cream (OR half and half mixed with 1 tablespoon corn starch)

dill

Rinse shrimp with cold water and pat very dry with paper towels. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet.

Add shrimp to pan and saute 4-6 minutes over medium-high heat until opaque. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the pan. Once melted, stir in garlic for one minute until fragrant.

Whisk in chicken broth, then gradually whisk in heavy cream. One sauce is thickened and creamy, reduce heat to low and stir in lemon juice.

Return shrimp to the pan, toss to coat in the sauce. Stir in dill and garnish with cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.

This was fantastic! My husband and teenager gave two enthusiastic thumbs up. This is a simple recipe that comes together in little time . I served it with rice pilaf and it really was a perfect dinner. Thank you so much for sharing.

Really delicious! Such a fantastic weeknight dinner that comes together quickly and makes a simple dinner feel like a special one.

Worked  out great!  I had fresh dill from the garden and shrimp in the freezer!  All the ingredients are pretty standard pantry items which makes it an even better recipe!  The only thing I changed was adding a quarter cup of grated parmesean after I added the heavy cream. We enjoyed it and will make it again!

I ended up with a thin sauce that needed a little help. I added 1/2 cup marscapone cheese, a little  salt and capers. It ended up delish!
