Notes

 

  • Serve Lemon Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Pasta immediately for the best flavor and texture, while it’s warm and creamy.

  • Pair it with a fresh green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.

  • To store leftovers, place the pasta in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

  • When reheating, warm gently on the stove over low heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp. Add a splash of water or broth if the sauce is too thick.

  • Avoid reheating in the microwave for long periods, as this can make the shrimp rubbery.
