Super Simple Lemon Garlic Shrimp

Lemon Garlic Shrimp is a great weeknight meal in minutes that requires mostly on-hand ingredients. Here I served it with some homemade fettuccine noodles I made with my KitchenAid pasta attachments – something I’ve had for almost a decade and had never used until the stay-home orders we’re currently observing.

This dish could easily be made Whole30 by swapping out the pasta with a bed of quick-steamed zucchini noodles or even spaghetti squash.
