Directions

Add pasta to a large pot of salted boiling water and let cook until al dente. After draining, save about 1 cup of the pasta water.
Add 2 Tbsp butter and olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat, while the pasta is cooking. In a single layer, add shrimp to the pan and sprinkle with ½ tsp seasoning salt, and 1 tsp Jamaica Me Crazy Lemon Pepper.
After about 2 minutes when the shrimp start turning pink, flip and cook for another minute or so on the other side, until opaque. Move shrimp to a bowl or plate and set to the side
Add the rest of the butter to the pan and once melted, add garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until it's just turning golden
Add heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and the remaining lemon pepper to skillet and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until sauce is thickened.
Remove from heat and add pasta to skillet. Toss to coat in sauce. Add ½ cup of reserved pasta water and continue to toss (add up to an additional ½ cup of pasta water if needed for consistency). Add shrimp and parsley to skillet and toss to combine.
Serve pasta in bowls or on plates with additional lemon zest, black pepper, and parsley.
