A few things about this, in my opinion. First, I don’t love cream sauce with seafood. Of course, there is the traditional fettuccine alfredo with shrimp, but other than that, I don’t love the combination. I also love parmesan, but not pared with seafood. I love this recipe because it’s simple, and sometimes simple is surprisingly good.
The key to great shrimp pasta, in my opinion, is using freshly squeezed lemon and don’t overdo the lemon. Be careful with the wine and lemon to limit how much is added. I also like to add some fresh chopped parsley which I didn’t have, but it adds a nice fresh flavor to the dish.

Notes
I sprinkled another round of salt at the end, just a little extra. Be careful not to use too much lemon or wine. I always worry about using too much salt with seafood because it’s salty already, but many recipes call for chicken stock with this recipe which I didn’t use, so a little extra salt helps the flavors fuse together.
