Prep Time : 5-10 minutes
Cook Time : 12 minutes 
Yield : 6 Serving size: 1-1/2 cups 

Ingredients:

3/4 pound raw shrimp
1 cup flat-leaf parsley
2-1/2 quarts water
12 ounces linguine, uncooked
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 heads of garlic, whole
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

​

Directions:

Peel and clean shrimp. Chop parsley.
Boil water in a large pot. Add pasta and cook for 10 minutes, or until tender.
While pasta is cooking, separate garlic cloves, leaving skin on. Heat cloves in a frying pan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Garlic is ready when it darkens and becomes soft to touch. Skin will be easy to remove.

Remove garlic from pan and peel off skin.
Heat olive oil in the frying pan and return peeled garlic to the pan. Cook garlic until golden. (Cloves can be cut in half or left whole.)
Add parsley and shrimp and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until shrimp turns pink.
Drain pasta and reserve 1 cup of liquid.

Add pasta to pan with shrimp and garlic.

Mix all ingredients together and add the reserved cup of liquid.
Add lemon juice and black pepper. Mix and serve

My notes:  

I discovered this little gem while my Dad was staying with us.  This is a kidney-friendly meal and is full of flavor.  I thought this meal would be boring but it wasn't.  Even though my Dad is back at his home, we will have this again.
