A quick and easy weeknight meal.

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat in the butter sauce. Add the reserved pasta water a little at a time to loosen the sauce if needed.
5. Finish Up: Return the shrimp to the skillet, toss gently, and squeeze in fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
6. Serve: Plate up and enjoy a comforting, flavorful meal!

This dish pairs well with a simple green salad and garlic bread. 😊
