LEMONY GARLIC SHRIMP WITH PASTA
This is a very elegant dish good for a nice simple meal. Tasty and pretty enough for company, but my husband and I enjoy it as a nice weekend meal. The brining of the shrimp takes the longest, but is very easy and improves the taste and texture of the shrimp.

Steps:
- Dissolve the kosher salt in 1 gallon of water in a large pot. Add the shrimp, and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours. Drain and pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp, white wine, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until the shrimp is no longer translucent in the center, about 6 minutes. Stir in the black pepper, parsley, and lemon zest before tossing with the angel hair pasta.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until soft, about 1 minutes. Add chicken broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil.
- Add shrimp and cook only until it turns pink; do not fully cook at this point. Remove shrimp from the sauce and set aside; cover to keep warm.
- Reduce the skillet temperature to medium. Add Parmesan cheese, cream, and lemon zest to the sauce; bring to a simmer. Cook to thicken the sauce, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
- Add shrimp to the sauce just before it has fully thickened and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes; don't overcook.
- Combine shrimp sauce, pasta, and cilantro; toss and serve.

LINGUINE WITH LEMON CLAM SAUCE
This is an easy, wonderfully flavoured pasta dish that can be whipped up in no time for an intimate dinner for two. Recipe is easily doubled. I use my non-stick wok as it is big enough for tossing the pasta and sauce together in and the sauce gets distributed better throughout that way.

Tips:
- Be sure to use the freshest seafood possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- If you can't find fresh clams, you can substitute frozen clams. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the seafood. Shrimp should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center. Clams should be cooked until they just open.
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Be sure to season the seafood well with salt and pepper.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end of cooking to brighten up the flavors.
- Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil.
Conclusion:
This pasta with shrimp, clams, lemon, and garlic is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The combination of flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a seafood pasta dish, give this one a try.
