LEMONY GARLIC SHRIMP WITH PASTA
This is a very elegant dish good for a nice simple meal. Tasty and pretty enough for company, but my husband and I enjoy it as a nice weekend meal. The brining of the shrimp takes the longest, but is very easy and improves the taste and texture of the shrimp.

- Dissolve the kosher salt in 1 gallon of water in a large pot. Add the shrimp, and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours. Drain and pat shrimp dry with paper towels.

SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH LEMON AND GARLIC
My favorite way to saute fresh shrimp. This is so quick and simple. Serve over rice or angel hair pasta (I usually saute a little more garlic in olive oil and toss it with the pasta before topping with the shrimp). Yum!

GARLIC-LEMON SHRIMP LINGUINE
The Cheesecake Factory has an extensive menu, but I always seem to order their delicious fresh and citrusy Lemon Shrimp Linguine. I'd enjoyed it enough times that I was confident I reproduce it to share with friends and family. Think I hit it spot on! When I have fresh basil from the garden I use that instead of parsley.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery. Cook them for just a few minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Use fresh garlic and lemon: Fresh garlic and lemon add a lot of flavor to this dish. Use at least 2 cloves of garlic and 1 lemon. You can also add more to taste.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The shrimp will be at their best when they're hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
This shrimp with garlic and lemon is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's sure to please everyone at the table. It's made with just a few simple ingredients, and it cooks in just minutes. The shrimp are tender and juicy, and they're packed with flavor from the garlic, lemon, and olive oil. Serve this dish with rice, pasta, or your favorite vegetables.
