Method

  1. 01

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 02

    While noodles cook, mince the 6 garlic cloves.

  3. 03

  4. 04

  5. 05

    Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add cooked noodles and shrimp back to the pan. Toss gently to coat, cooking for 1 minute more until heated through.

  6. 06

    Squeeze juice of 1 lemon over the dish. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately, topped with fresh parsley.

Spice Tips

For subtle warmth, add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes when you cook the garlic. For a herbaceous finish, finish with a pinch of fresh dill or a few torn basil leaves instead of parsley.

Shrimp cooks fast, so have all ingredients prepped and ready before you start the skillet. For a touch of richness, stir in 1/4 cup cream or a splash of white wine after the garlic step.
