I like to use large shrimp for this recipe, and I leave the tails on. Not only does it add flavor while cooking but the presentation looks beautiful.

Our favorite pasta for this recipe is thin spaghetti. Linguine or angel hair pasta will also work just fine.

Any dry white wine will work just fine. You can substitute for vegetable or seafood broth if you want to leave the wine out.

If you're not a fan of lemon flavor then just add a tablespoon of lemon juice at a time, you can always go back and add more if you feel it needs it.
