Cook time: PT15M
Total time: PT25M

Ingredients
- 8 oz. pasta (such as cavatappi or fusilli – cook in salted pasta water and reserve ⅓ cup if needed)
- 1 lb. large shrimp (peeled and deveined )
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves (sliced)
- 1 cup zucchini (chopped (approx. 1 small zucchini))
- 1 cup green beans (halved)
- 1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas (thawed)
- 1/2 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- zest from 1 lemon
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions
1. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
2. Cook the shrimp in a large skillet with the olive oil and Italian seasoning for 3 minutes, flip, and continue cooking for another 3 minutes on the other side. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. Next, add butter to the same skillet and warm over medium heat. Add the garlic, zucchini, green beans, tomatoes, frozen peas, and salt. Saute for 3 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften (it’s ok if vegetables aren’t soft, they will soften as they simmer in the chicken broth).
4. Add in the chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (optional) and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
5. Then add the cooked pasta, shrimp, and parmesan cheese. Toss everything together and then garnish with fresh basil and parsley. Enjoy!
