HERB AND LEMON SAUCE FOR SHRIMP AND PASTA

• Add shrimp and saute until opaque, about 4 minutes. Note that shrimp should almost be fully cooked at this stage, but not completely, so don't overcook this step or shrimp will be tough.
• Add parsley, green onions, salt and pepper, and cook 1 minute longer.
• Stir in lemon juice and cook another minute, then add the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese; toss well and serve immediately.
• Serve with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.
