Lemon and Prawns Spaghetti: A 15 minute meal on the table!
- Replies 5
The most perfect and creamy lemon shrimp pasta in a white wine and butter sauce. Why go out when you can make something even better at home. It takes 15 minutes from start to finish and it’s the most heavenly pasta dish of all time. This is absolutely perfect for Christmas Eve as one of your seafood dishes on the table, or any time of year. I can honestly eat a plate of pasta like this all year long without getting sick of it. It is creamy, light, lemon-y and everything you want in a pasta recipe. You can totally leave out the shrimp and make this vegetarian.
