Lemon Garlic Shrimp (or Chicken) and Pasta

Submitted by: Adrienne

This is a really yummy, light pasta dish that is great for any season

1 lb shrimp (pre-cooked), preferably with tails removed OR 1-2 chicken breasts, sliced/diced
1/2 c. butter
2 T. parsley (fresh or dried)
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 T. lemon juice
1/4 c. parmesan cheese, grated
12 oz. linguine noodles (I used angel hair and it worked really well)

Cook noodles and set aside. In large skillet, melt butter with parsley, garlic and lemon juice until heated through. Add shrimp and gently stir 2-3 minutes OR add chicken and gently stir until cooked. Sprinkle cheese over the top. Add the pasta and stir to coat. Serve with additional parmesan cheese. I like to add diced tomatoes over the top also.
