How to cook deliciously - Lemon Pasta with Shrimp

1. Stage

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. Stage

While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until soft, about 1 minutes. Add chicken broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil.

3. Stage

Add shrimp and cook only until it turns pink; do not fully cook at this point. Remove shrimp from the sauce and set aside; cover to keep warm.

4. Stage

Reduce the skillet temperature to medium. Add Parmesan cheese, cream, and lemon zest to the sauce; bring to a simmer. Cook to thicken the sauce, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.

5. Stage

Add shrimp to the sauce just before it has fully thickened and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes; don't overcook.

6. Stage

Combine shrimp sauce, pasta, and cilantro; toss and serve.
