So, I better start this post off by saying that you must love and adore the following things in order to love and adore this recipe.

bowl of lemons

Lemons.  There are lemon slices, lemon zest and lemon juice in this dish.  A whole lot of lemon juice, freshly squeezed from four, count ’em, four lemons.

head of garlic

Garlic.  There are nine, count ’em, nine cloves of garlic in this recipe, all minced up and cooked with the lemon juice, along with a good amount of butter, a lot of fresh chopped parsley, and some lovely large shrimp.

The whole process takes about 7 minutes (not kidding), which is just about the amount of time you will need to cook up a nice pot of linguine.  Then all that is left to do is drain the linguine and toss it with the shrimpy, buttery, lemony, garlicky sauce.

    Does bacon go with lemons? I've actually been wondering that for a while now. I don't know why I haven't tried it. Probably because I end up just eating the bacon before I get a chance.

    This looks wonderful! SO many of my favorite things in one plate!

    This is very similar to a recipe we love: lemon linguini with Cajun shrimp. It's a classic that time and again delivers exactly what we're longing for. The zing from the Cajun marinade on the shrimp is great, but I think a bright and clean pasta dish like this has a perfect place at our table, too.

    Cheers,

      it is very lemony, you have to love lemon for you to enjoy it.

    I think a little pancetta would be even better than bacon with this!

    We had this dish at a friend's place last Saturday night and it was absolutely delicious. Yes, it was lemony, but not too much so — ditto for the garlic. Eight of us polished it off and fought over the last bits. A super recipe.

    I am a newlywed housewife, (and follower) and for Valentine's Day, we didn't want to brave an overpriced, crowed restaurant, so I made this recipe. We both LOVED it! The garlic and lemon made this dish so yummy, and our house was full of the fantastic aroma for the rest of the evening. Thanks for such a fabulous recipe!
