Instructions

1. Prepare pasta according to package instructions. While pasta is cooking, begin preparing and cooking shrimp skewers. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread shrimp onto metal skewers (or bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes minimum). Brush shrimp with olive oil, squeeze juice from half of one lemon onto shrimp, then season shrimp with salt and pepper.
2. Place skewers onto grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes; then turn skewers over and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until shrimp is cooked through (shrimp should be pink and opaque).
3. While shrimp are cooking, prepare pasta sauce by placing juice from remaining lemon, plus the lemon zest and all other remaining ingredients, into small pot. Heat pot over medium-low heat until butter melts (about 2 minutes). Toss pasta with lemon-garlic sauce and serve alongside grilled shrimp.
