One Pot Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta - this will be your new favorite pasta dish and you'll want to add it to your weekly dinner rotation!
This is my favorite new pasta dish and will soon be your favorite too. This dish is made in one pot. You boil the noodles and drain them, then cook everything else in the same pot. Hardly no dirty dishes! Who doesn't love that? One pot meals are becoming the thing ya know, kind of like one sheet pan dinners.
Shrimp is a great source of protein. 1 pound of shrimp has 140 grams of protein in it! That is one reason why this dish is so low in points as well. Plus, there's no sugar added to it. I didn't even mind the spinach! This dish makes about 5 servings for only 316 calories. Use a heaping cup per serving.
