- 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 Tbs. minced fresh basil
- 2 Tbs. salt, plus more, to taste

Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
Add the 2 Tbs. salt and the pasta to the boiling water.

When the pasta is within about 3 minutes of being al dente, in a large frypan over medium-low heat, warm the oil.
Add the garlic, shallot, and sauté until fragrant and softened about 2 minutes.
Add the shrimp and sauté until they are just opaque throughout about 3 minutes.

Drain the pasta and add it to the frypan.
Toss the pasta to coat with the sauce and shrimp and serve immediately.
