This lemon garlic shrimp is packed with flavor and is so easy to make. I have always been a little intimidated by seafood. We didn’t grow up eating it very much, and I can be a little picky about it having too much of a fishy flavor. My husband loves shrimp, so I thought I would surprise him and throw together this quick and easy shrimp.

Serving Suggestions
My husband and I have been trying to eat a high protein diet, so I was so excited when I found this Barilla ProteinPLUS® Angel Hair Pasta. ProteinPLUS® Angel Hair is a delicious multigrain pasta made with simple ingredients like flaxseed, barley, and oats, plus protein-rich chickpeas, lentils, and egg whites, and is a good source of lean protein. I also love that it is made with non-GMO ingredients! My kids ate every last noodle without any complaints and my husband and I felt good about feeding them a pasta that was high in protein to help fill them up!
