Our employee Marea Price says, “Ama is my Mom. She taught my daughter, Payton, to catch, clean and cook shrimp and crab. Now Payton cooks this recipe for me… it’s my favorite!”
Preparation
STEP 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook pasta per package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before straining pasta.
STEP 2
Strain pasta and return pot to medium-low heat. Add butter to melt.
STEP 3
To melted butter, add lemon zest, lemon juice, and pepper. Stir and cook to bring out flavor. About 1-2 minutes.
STEP 4
Add cream and ½ cup of reserved pasta water.
STEP 5
Add shrimp (or crab) and cook until just done. You do not want to overcook!
STEP 6
Add pasta back to pot and mix to evenly coat. Add more pasta water if needed to build sauce.
STEP 7
Off heat, add parmesan cheese and parsley. Give it one more mix so every - thing is evenly dispersed. Serve with extra parmesan cheese and enjoy!
