    Lemon Butter Shrimp & Pasta

    Hey y’all! Today I’m sharing a delicious recipe my hubby and I like to prepare, it’s fairly quick and easy and doesn’t require a ton of ingredients and, did I mention it’s delicious! The cast of characters for today’s dish: Pasta of choice, Shrimp, lemon, butter, garlic, EVOO, heavy cream, salt & pepper, and Italian dressing seasoning (I prefer to use my own homemade version, but any will work). You’ll want to start by washing those kits, that’s so important ☺️ I like to start this dish by getting my oven preheating to 350 and getting that pasta into some water on the stove. You’ll want to prepare the pasta…
