Lemon Garlic Shrimp and Pasta

This lemon garlic shrimp pasta is a bright and flavorful dish that is quick and easy to throw together in 30 minutes. Lemon, garlic and butter are three flavors that blend so well. Pair it with a good bottle of wine, and a crisp salad great for entertaining or a light meal. I used thin spaghetti for this recipe because that is what I had on hand, but your free to use any type of pasta that you like.
