Make your dinner extra delicious this week with this Lemon, Shrimp, Burrata Pasta with plenty of garlic. This pasta is filled with the best fresh flavors and is a perfect light recipe for summer. Done in 30 minutes.
Let’s talk about recipes that Kyle and I eat on the regular. Having a food blog, you would think that our main meals are constantly changing. The reality is that we both have a few staple recipes/food combos that we fall back on and eat all the time! I do most of the cooking and, once wedding season picks up and I’m busy photographing them, I like to keep our dinners simple and easy. 
Enter: Garlic-y Lemon Butter Shrimp Gemelli!
I’ve been making a variation of this pasta every since our college days, but wanted to swap our normal standard spaghetti pasta noodles for a little fancier shape. I love how the gemelli adds some extra flair and makes dinner a little more fun to eat haha!
Couple fun noodles with shrimp simmered in a garlic, lemon, butter, and white wine sauce with plenty of fresh herbs + cheese and you have yourself a winning recipe!
We inhaled pretty much the entire recipe in one night and I know I’ll be making this again soon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of pasta works best for this recipe?
Gemelli pasta is recommended for its unique shape and ability to hold onto the sauce, but you can also use other short pasta shapes if preferred.
Can I substitute the white wine in the sauce?
Yes, you can substitute the white wine with chicken broth or vegetable broth if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
How can I enhance the flavor of the shrimp in this dish?
You can marinate the shrimp in lemon juice and garlic for 15-30 minutes before cooking to intensify their flavor.
Anyone tried this with bay scallops instead of shrimp? Thinking the smaller, tender bite would work with gemelli but not sure about the cooking time differential.
