This is a great go-to pasta recipe that you can whip up in a pinch with essentially whatever you have on hand. You can try swapping the shrimp for white beans to turn the lemony seafood pasta into a vibrant vegetarian entr&eacute;e.

Followed the directions (almost) to a tee -- added garlic as suggested by others.  Quick, easy and satisfying. 

This is so delicious!  I made it tonight and added the garlic and parmesan like other reviewers suggested.  It was a winner!  I also love how quickly it all comes together.  It is a perfect weeknight recipe.  :)

Was looking for shrimp and pasta recipes and saw this and it looked so good I had to try it. The first time I made it I unfortunately did not have fresh broccoli and I the only shrimp I had were frozen cooked! I did not have a fresh lemon, so I used lemon juice and dried lemon zest. Even with all that this was amazing! The next time I made it I had all the right stuff and it was even better! Since we like Parmesan cheese, the second time I made it we added some fresh Parmesan cheese over it. So yummy. This recipe sure is a keeper. 

I made this last night for my husband and i.  It was very good and came together quickly.  I halved the recipe and added garlic like another reviewer mentioned.  It was delicious for a last minute thrown together meal. 

Made this recipe earlier this week after we got home from soccer practice and my 6 and 7 year old gobbled it up. I did add some minced garlic to the oil before I cooked the shrimp. This was fast, easy and delicious. I will definitely make this regularly. 

This is a great go-to pasta recipe that you can whip up in a pinch with fresh or frozen shrimp, broccoli and pasta. It's less than 500 calories per serving and can be ready in about 30 minutes.
