Shrimp Linguine

Shrimp linguine!! This is the food I cooked for blog today.  I like simplicity of this food, no more over powering with heavy tomato sauce. The whole dish is extremely refreshing with the taste of fresh lemon zest and its juice.  It is very easy and quick to prepare. My son doesn’t even like shrimp, but today he seemed to like it and ate it all. This was surprising for me.I hope you guys will enjoy the dish!
