- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta, and return to pot; toss with 1 tablespoon oil. Cover to keep warm.
- While pasta is cooking, heat remaining 5 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a medium saute pan. Add garlic and white parts of scallions, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

- Transfer shrimp mixture to pot; toss to combine with pasta. Drizzle lemon juice over pasta; sprinkle in green parts of scallions and the watercress. Season with salt and pepper; toss gently before serving.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
- If you don't have a steamer basket, you can boil the broccoli and peas in a pot of boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender.
- To make the lemon sauce, use fresh lemon juice and zest. Bottled lemon juice will not have the same bright flavor.
- If you don't have dry white wine, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead.
- Serve the shrimp with steamed rice or your favorite side dish.
