Directions

Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon concentrate, and toss to coat.
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 6-quart sauce-pot over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and the peas, and cook until the shrimp are done.
Remove the shrimp mixture from the sauce-pot, cover and keep warm.
Heat the water and remaining 1 tablespoon concentrate in the same sauce-pot over medium-high heat until it boils.
Stir in the uncooked linguine. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 12 minutes or until the linguine is tender, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper, parsley, and the cooked shrimp mixture. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Recipe Note

For Simple Lemon Butter Pasta, reduce the concentrate to 1 tablespoon and increase the water to 3 1/2 cups. Heat the water, 1 tablespoon butter, and concentrate in a 6-quart sauce-pot to a boil. Add the uncooked linguine and cook until tender, stirring occasionally. Add the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, crushed red pepper, parsley, and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Toss to coat.
