Simple, light, fresh, and full of flavor. This shrimp with basil and tomato is a great meal for busy weeknights or when you want something easy and delicious.
Cook your pasta according to the packaging instructions. Drain the pasta from the water and set it aside. You can drizzle it with a small amount of olive oil to prevent it from sticking.
Melt your butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add your garlic and sautée for 1 or two minutes, just until it's fragrant.
Add in your lemon juice and give it a stir.
Add your shrimp to the pan and cook it for about two minutes, just until the bottom starts to turn pink.
Flip the shrimp and add in your tomatoes and chopped basil.
Continue cooking for about two minutes, until the shrimp has turned pink and is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook it.
Gently add your pasta to the shrimp and give it a good toss to cover it with the sauce.
Garnish with more basil and freshly shredded parmesan if you'd like.
