Lemon pasta with roasted shrimp

This is a Barefoot Contessa recipe that has been leaned up a bit. Simple ingredients and very light and fresh. Enjoy.


Ingredients:
about 18 shrimp
3 tbsp. olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
12 oz. of whole wheat pasta (angel hair preferred but you can use spaghetti or linguini)
4 tbsp (1/2 stick light butter)
2 lemons, zested and juiced


Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix shrimp with 1 tbsp olive oil and salt and pepper to season-- mix and spread out on cookie sheet.
Roasted shrimp for about 6-8 min or until pink- cooked through.
Meanwhile cook pasta according to directions save some of the pasta water before draining. Toss together pasta, 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice-- salt and pepper to taste. Add reserved pasta water (if needed) to make more of a sauce for pasta... cook slighty... and then add roasted shrimp. 


I usually chop some fresh parsley and sprinkle on top before serving.
