Unforgettable Old Bay Shrimp Pasta: A Must-Try!

This recipe came from my Italian family. It is not only delicious but so quick and easy. Measurements really aren’t necessary–make it your own. You can’t go wrong with too much seasoning or too little. Go easy on the lemon is my only recommendation. Unless you love lemon! Adding Parmesan cheese is really delish and the Alfredo sauce gives it a nice hot and creamy texture.
