I love cooking shrimp because it cooks up so fast and it is such a crowd pleaser! (Pasta is usually only rinsed if it is to be used in a salad.) Dried pasta can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place and it will keep almost indefinitely. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Serve this delicious creamy shrimp pasta with some bread for mopping up extra cream sauce and a side salad with a zingy vinaigrette. The vinaigrette will help to cut through the richness of the creamy lemon pasta. Alternatively, add some blanched asparagus or some skillet green beans.
