Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds small shrimp, peeled and deveined
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon sliced green onion

In a medium mixing bowl, season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Toss to coat.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, until pink.
Add the lemon juice, garlic, chicken broth, green onion, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and chopped parsley.
Toss with the cooked pasta and serve hot.
