Lemon Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Pasta is made in just one pot and ready in 30 minutes! Fresh shrimp gets cooked in a buttery lemon garlic sauce and gets tossed in fresh parmesan cheese and pasta. It will become a new favorite!
Say hello to your new favorite one pot meal. This seriously blew away our taste buds and became an instant favorite with the first bite.
Rewind to the time I despised shrimp. Yes I hated shrimp. But I am a firm believer in giving things a chance. For example. I used to hate salmon. Now it is hands down my favorite thing to eat.
So I told myself that I am going to give shrimp a chance. Especially because my hubby loves shrimp! So I try to cook a meal with shrimp for him a few times a month. This dish my friends is incredible. And even the former shrimp hater aka me LOVED it!
MY OTHER RECIPES
The awesome thing about this meal is that it is cooked in just one pot. Only having to dirty one pot and deliver an amazing meal for the fam= one happy mama.
The shrimp is cooked in an amazing lemon garlic butter sauce that is to die for. I love shrimp because it cooks so incredibly fast. It gets tossed in spinach and pasta and fresh grated parmesan cheese.
So basically all of my favorite things in one. Lemon, butter, garlic, parmesan…. are you getting hungry? 🙂
You guys are going to LOVE this meal. I pinky promise.

This is the first recipe review I’ve ever written. I made this tonight (getting back into a routine now that school has started), and it was exceptional. I made it as written, except I doubled the garlic (I always do) and I piled on a little extra spinach. I used fresh wild caught shrimp, but I live in south Louisiana – there’s no reason to use anything else. Looking forward to trying more from this site. I don’t mind long and complicated recipes, but this was so quick and easy – a great school night cook!
I made this last night for dinner… SO DAMN GOOD. I added asparagus and did about half olive oil and half butter and damn. so good and so quick. Sometimes i find recipes online and for whatever reason they look and smell good but the flavors are somewhat lackluster… but not this one. The red pepper flakes give it a perfect kick. love love love
I made this for my family, including a very picky 8 year old, THEY WERE FIGHTING OVER LEFT OVERS! Its sooo good! I added asparagus and zucchini since I didnt want it to go to waste. Will be making this often! Gracias!
OMG this was the best meal I’ve had in a while. At first I thought it might not have enough sauce but the noodles were so flavorful I also added 2 more cloves of garlic. My only regret is only making 8 oz of noodles instead of the whole pack. Next time I will double the recipe. Thank you so much it was a hit ????
I do not cook BUT tonight I did. Wow was this simple and DELICIOUS. Thank you for sharing.
That is great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing! XOXO
I don’t leave comments but this time I just had to. This dish was absolutely amazing and delicious. My kids and I enjoyed it a lot. Will be making it again. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I made the LEMON GARLIC PARMESAN SHRIMP PASTA, It was so good. My Husband is Diabetic so I substituted spaghetti squash for the linguine. It was still a great recipe.
I made the lemon garlic parmesan shrimp pasta and it was delicious! I’m on weight watchers and this actually was very adaptable. I reduce the butter and cheese and it fit my diet perfectly. I will definitely shared this with the WW community.
Really appreciated the recipe Except, ckean off the shrimp shells from the tails. It is OK to deal with tail shell when eatin hand held shrimp, but NOT when dealing with a plate of the items.
This is SO good and easy!! made it last minute with some frozen shrimp i had in the freezer and wow so good! definitely will be making again!
YAY! That is awesome! I am so happy that it was a great fit for your family! Thanks for sharing and following along with me! XOXO
I cooked it tonight, and everybody love it! Thank you
That is great to hear! I am so glad that everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing! XOXO
I am usually not a pasta person at all! But this was THE most delicious dish I have found online in a while. Alyssa was right this became an instant family favorite! We loved it so much, we’re having again tonight. We rarely eat the same dish two nights in a row, but this was amazing! The only changes I made were, instead of regular Italian dressing mix we used ranch dressing/seasoning mix, and instead of red pepper flakes, we used actual red pepper. Thanks, Alyssa. I’m a fan. I’ll be scouring your website for more dishes to add to my recipe collection! Too bad five stars is the highest rating I can give. It deserves 10 stars!!
Delicious! – a Keeper. I thought there 1 t . of red pepper flakes was a teensy bit too much; I’ll try 3/4 t. next time.
I used two tablespoons of butter and two tablespoons of olive oil, 8 cloves of garlic and kale instead of spinach. I also used spiralized zucchini instead of pasta. This recipe was so easy and I was told it was the best dinner I’ve ever prepared. I’m a self-professed excellent cook so that’s saying a lot. Thank you for this recipe. It was delicious and will be in regular rotation.
I had all the ingredients except spinach so I substituted peas. It turned out great. A very quick and easy recipe that is also very tasty.
Excellent. Just made it for three friends for lunch and they loved it. And so easy. Thank you
