LEMON SHRIMP WITH PASTA AND BASIL
This takes no time at all to prepare.It looks like you've cooked all day! So easy, so basic, so fragrant This works well with chicken also. I sometimes prepare this with both the chicken and the shrimp, but I make a little more sauce, and I will add a little chicken broth to the sauce.

LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH BOW TIE PASTA
This is my favorite way to make shrimp because using the marinade in the sauce carries the shrimp flavor through the entire dish. Wine, garlic and lemon are the main flavors, but with a slight kick. You can skip flouring the shrimp if you want, and go straight to frying them, but you might want to thicken your sauce with a little cornstarch. I like serving these with a nice juicy, grilled rib-eye, but it could also be a main dish. Prep time includes time to marinate shrimp.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl or large plastic zip-tip bag, combine all marinade ingredients, mix well, add shrimp and let sit 20-30 minutes, stirring or flipping bag occasionally.
- When shrimp are almost done marinating, start cooking the pasta accoring to directions on the package.
- Meanwhile, combine flour and paprika (if using) on a large plate or in a large plastic zip-top bag, lightly coat shrimp with flour mixture.
- Reserve the marinade.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the shrimp about 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. (The flour coating may not be crispy, but that okay, most of it will come off of the shrimp and thicken the pasta sauce.).
- Set cooked shrimp aside.
- Add butter and marinade to pan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Return shrimp to pan, stir well, reduce heat to medium, and add milk.
- Stirring well, cook about 3-4 minutes or until sauce has thickened. (If you don't use the flour, you may want to thicken now with a cornstarch and water mixture).
- Add parmesan cheese and parsley, stir to combine.
- Add cooked pasta and stir well to completely coat with sauce.
- Serve hot.
CREAMY LEMON SPINACH PASTA WITH SCALLOPS & SHRIMP
A very easy impressive dish, but also very quick to prepare. Now being in FL, fresh seafood is always available. But frozen shrimp would work fine for this. And, I also don't have too bad of luck with some frozen scallops. As these are poached in this dish rather than seared, the frozen scallops will work ok, if fresh are not available. The spinach fettuccini or linguini is really the key to bring all the flavors together. The last time I used fresh pasta which really made a big difference. My Dad and friends love this dish and request it all the time. It is creamy and rich, but the zucchini and lemon really lightens the richness.

Steps:
- Vegetables -- In a medium size sauce pan, heat to medium and add the butter. Then add in the onion, garlic and saute 1-2 minutes. Add in the zucchini and cook just another minute until the zucchini begins to slightly soften. It only takes a minute or less. Remove the vegetables immediately to a bowl and cover to keep them warm.
- Scallops and Shrimp -- Add the wine and vermouth to the same pan and bring to a light boil (medium / medium high heat). Add the shrimp and scallops and cook 1-2 minutes. Once the shrimp begin to turn pink and curl immediately take off the heat and use a slotted spoon and remove the shrimp and scallops to the bowl with the zucchini and onion. Cover with foil to keep warm.
- Sauce -- Return the pan back to stove and add the cream to wine and vermouth sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer about 10-12 minutes until reduced by half. This is the perfect time to cook your pasta. Once the sauce is finished, remove from the heat and add in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Add the sauce to the bowl with the vegetables and seafood and toss well. The sauce will heat everything back up.
- Pasta -- As the sauce cooks, make your pasta according to package directions. Drain well.
- Finish -- In a large serving bowl or serving platter, toss the pasta with the seafood sauce. Season with the dill, salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve -- Garnish with some fresh dill and lemon slices. Serve some crusty bread and if you want some fresh greens for a salad. ENJOY!

SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH LEMON CAPER CREAM SAUCE ON ANGEL HAIR PASTA
I got this recipe from the Olive Garden website. I'm not a big fan of capers, so they were omitted, but I didn't want to change the original ingredient list. This stuff is incredible! You may be tempted to try a different type of pasta, but I believe to achieve the proper delicate nature of this dish, you need to use the specified angel hair pasta.
