Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Pretty basic recipe. Didnt care for the lemon slices as they didn’t add anything. Quick and easy but doesn’t get a very good from me. Would make again when in a hurry

    Easy and quick

    Delicious. I cooked the garlic in the butter and olive oil for almost 10 minutes on a very low flame. I zested two lemons. I reserved some pasta water and used a bit of that at the end when tossing everything together.

    This was super easy to make and the shrimp were nice and tender, but the flavor of the dish didn't win us over. We found it to be too lemony, and we even omitted the sliced lemons. I would have loved more garlic and less lemon juice, and possibly less pasta. If I make it again I will definitely try those changes and serve with a bit of parm. I halved the recipe and it easily served two adults and two kids.

    Delicious. I scaled it down to 2 servings, eyeballing ingredients. Used banza linguine; didn't add the lemon slices. Very easy weeknight dish.

    Nice quick dinner. We enjoy it everytime.

  • KatGeorge on November 14, 2021

    I have made this many times - never disappoints!

  • ChelseaP on May 22, 2021

    This is a regular dinner in our house. We love it so much. I keep frozen prawns in the freezer so that we can make it whenever the mood strikes.

  • jhallen on February 16, 2021

    This was great, loved it. Easy and delicious exactly as written.

  • Lepa on January 30, 2020

    I thought this was delicious but the rest of my family didn't like the strong lemon flavor. I still think I'll make it again because it was so easy and good. I omitted the sliced lemons and made 1/2 a recipe, which was enough for four people (two kids).

  • TrishaCP on December 21, 2019

    This was fine but not a repeat for my household. I think we are just a fan of bolder flavors.

    I could only find smaller shrimp, but they were fine. Added broccoli and peas for a one-dish meal. Served with grated Parmesan (I know, a heresy in Italy). Sliced lemon didn't add anything except bitterness, so I'd omit it in the future.

    This is a midweek staple in our house. Quick, easy to make and the family love it.

  • Kfaber on August 09, 2014

    Couldn't be easier to make. Didn't get the point of the sliced whole lemons- and do you eat them or not. Had some friends over when I made this and there were no leftovers.

  • Lindalib on August 23, 2013

    Delicious, easy dinner. Will definitely make again.

  • fprincess on May 03, 2012

    I still make this dish regularly. It's a good week night recipe and I always have all the ingredients on hand. Picture here: http://egullet.org/p1875797

  • Trackypup on November 24, 2011

    Delicious! I added some left over roasted cherry tomatoes from the night before. Definitely a keeper.

  • bapfel on December 26, 2010

    This is one of our favorites for a quick and delicious meal. Just have a bag of frozen large peeled and deveined shrimp in your freezer and you have a meal in 1/2 an hour. 1/2 a recipe feeds two perfectly!

  • fprincess on November 04, 2010

    This is super tasty and delicious. Easy to make - I always keep a bag of frozen raw shrimp in my freezer for that dish.
