This Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta is an easy weeknight meal, ready in 30 minutes!
I haven’t made too many shrimp dishes for the blog. I feel bad that I’ve neglected these little guys for so long.
Shrimp is another great protein for 0 points. It’s easy to make, ready in just minutes and goes great with so many foods.
I decided to add my shrimp to some pasta with lemon and garlic. It’s a fresh and flavorful dish that’s light…even with the pasta.
I made this recipe into four servings which is 8 Freestyle points per serving. It’s a little higher in points, but it’s a very filling meal.
You could also make it six servings which would only be 5 points per serving.

For this recipe I bought frozen uncooked shrimp. I left it in the fridge over night so it could thaw out.
I used 8 ounces of linguine noodles. I started boiling the water so I could get the noodles cooked, since they take the longest to make.
While the noodles were cooking I heated a large frying pan and added the butter and minced garlic. Next I added the lemon juice and chicken broth and the shrimp.
I added salt and pepper to the shrimp and cooked it for about 2 minutes on each side.
Once the noodles were cooked and drained I added them to the shrimp. I sprinkled on some fresh grated Parmesan cheese, fresh lemon juice and stirred it all together.
Dinner was ready in under 30 minutes!
