  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until desired doneness.  Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid.

  • Add pasta and 1/4 cup reserved pasta liquid to sauce.  Toss, adding Parmesan a bit at a time, along with more pasta liquid as needed until sauce coats pasta.
  • Add lemon juice, season with salt and pepper. Serve pasta topped with shrimp, sunflower seeds and more Parmesan.
