Matt's Shrimp Pasta

This is just a little family favorite of ours.

1 pkg. Penne Noodles
Olive oil
red onion diced
Garlic chopped finely
lemon juice
Shrimp (raw, this can be frozen then thawed, but don't get the pre-cooked kind it WILL NOT work out.)

cook the penne noodles to your liking.

While the noodles are cooking, add in a skillet or frying pan: olive oil, onion, and garlic. The amounts on this will vary depending on how much you like onion and garlic. Put enough olive oil to cover the bottom of your frying pan. Saute them until they are slightly golden.
Add the lemon juice. This will be about equal to how much olive oil you put in. mix it well with your spoon (add just a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if you want) then add the shrimp.
Cook the shrimp until it's nice and pink. If you cook the shrimp too long, it will turn very tough so this might take some practice to find just the right pinkness for your liking.
**Keep the heat at a medium level so your other ingredients don't burn.**
Pour over noodles and add some Parmesan cheese! Eat up!
