Lemon and shrimp?? Sounds weird at first but it really worked! Surprising!
I used penne instead of spaghetti and it turned out fine. Not a big deal. Same taste I guess.
I don’t see the point of using different pasta! But hey, if you liked it, that’s what matters! 🤷♂️
This was amazing! The shrimp were juicy and the lemon gave it a zesty kick. Will definitely make again!
So glad you loved it! 🍤 Lemon really does make everything better!
Quick and easy dinner idea! My kids loved it and even asked for seconds. 👍
Yumm!! 🍝
I don’t know, I followed the recipe but it tasted kinda bland. Maybe I need more garlic?
I accidentally added too much salt and it was super salty. Shoulda paid more attention.
Aww man, salty pasta sounds nasty! I usually just add a pinch and taste as I go, not that hard! 🤷♂️😅
Ah, bummer! Salt can really ruin a dish. Next time, maybe try measuring it out carefully? 🍋
