This One Pot Shrimp Pasta is a delightful, easy dinner sure to impress your family! You can have this creamy one pan pasta dish on the table in just 30 minutes.
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the shrimp. Saute until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add the avocado oil to the pot and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
Carefully pour in the broth, cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and stir until combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the linguine. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 10 minutes, stir in the frozen peas, cover, and cook an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.
Remove from heat and stir in the shrimp. Garnish with shaved parmesan if desired, then serve.
Notes
There will likely be some liquid left in the pot at the end of step 1. You can drain it out before adding the oil and sauteing the onion but it’s optional. I personally leave the shrimp butter and juices for a more flavorful pasta!
This is a light, lemony shrimp pasta perfect all year round!
Leftovers keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but I do not recommend freezing it.
