1. Prepare the pasta according to package directions.  Cook the pasta al dente (not overcooked). Drain and set aside.

2.  While pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a pan. Add the salt, pepper and garlic.  Cook for 1 minute.  Stir in the white wine and lemon juice.   Cook for about 4 minutes or until the mixture is reduced to ¾ cup.

3.  Add the flour and whisk until combined.  Saute until a little thicken.

4.  Add in the cooked shrimp and saute until heated through.

Prep Tip
I used cooked jumbo shrimp for the time savings.  If you prefer to use raw, saute in a little reduced-fat butter until pink.  Set aside while cooking the wine sauce.
