I took her recipe with a sort of grain of salt. made modifications which I think helped it, but still , it needed something else. I cut up three cloves of garlic and added it to the melted butter. I put in some dried parsley as well. I didnt use 2 lbs of shrimp, I used 1 1/2 lb ( the recipe was going to be for just two of us, not a whole group. I was concerned that 2 lemons plus 2 lemons zested would be overpowering, so I used one. that seemed to work for me. in the end, I dont think adding the water from the cooked pasta would work..so I didnt I think it needed more garlic, more salt, and we put parmesan on top of the pasta. I think maybe some other seasoning might have helped it as well, but I am not sure what. maybe oregano? next time I make it, if I make it I will monkey around with the seasonings some more. Oh..and I believe it took the shrimp much longer to cook in the oven than was stated in the recipe. the pasta didnt have much flavor to it..it needs something else to improve the flavor

I thought this was absolutely delicious and the best part is that it was so easy to make. Be sure to use large, juicy lemons. YUM!!

After reading a few comments about the lemon being a little strong, I started with only one lemon. It was perfect for my husband and I squeezed a little more on my individual serving. Delicious, refreshing and a new taste on pasta for me. I'm Italian and NEVER tried lemon on my pasta.
Loved it. I'll definately make this again.

I made this for dinner and my shrimp were not the best tasting. As that was all that was with the pasta it was not a success .Sauce was good and I would try it again.

After a long day, this was a great answer to the "what's for dinner" question. Fast, easy and tasty. I'll be making this again!

Unless I misunderstood the directions the zest and juice of 2 lemons proved to be a little overpowering. I wound up with a cup of juice to add. The shrimp turned out nice but I did not "love" this dish. I think that maybe the lemon zest and a splash of juice would have been plenty.

My husband and I both LOVED this recipe. It was so fast and easy, especially roasting the shrimp for only 7 minutes. The lemon did not over power the taste of the shrimp, everything blended well and was a fast, great, light and tasty meal.
Will definitely make again and again.

I cut the recipe portions in half and used light butter instead of the real deal and cut back on the use of olive oil (used spray instead of from the bottle. I also used whole wheat pasta instead of regular.

FABULOUS!!!!

My husband loved this recipe. Must admit we are garlic lovers so added garlic to the olive oil and butter. Served it with roasted half tomatoes with olive oil, garlic and seasoned bread crumbs as the topping. Thanks. Ida!!!

1st recipe by Ina that I didn't love. The shrimp were good, but the pasta was so-so. Not much flavor to it. Will not make this one again.
