Lemon-Garlic Shrimp Linguini

We are having lemon-garlic shrimp with linguini for dinner and this is one of Don’s very favorite shrimp recipes.  It is quick and easy to fix and if you come home from work or shopping you can have dinner on the table in thirty minutes. 

I was out shopping at the mall and I didn’t intend to stay so long but was so absorbed in the racks of clothes on sale at Macy’s that I completely lost track of time.  My stomach was roaring and I checked the time and realized it was time to get home to fix dinner.  Alas, I did not take anything out of the freezer before I went shopping.  But, I had shrimp!  it was a quick thaw in cold water and by the time I had the pasta cooked the garlic sauce and shrimps were ready and the salad made.   How easy was that!
