Pasta with Shrimp and Peas

This is basically a lighter version of shrimp scampi. The lemon zest adds a fresh twist without becoming too overbearing. I like to use cooked shrimp tossing it in with the pasta and parsley. I do not have to worry about over cooked rubbery shrimp. As for the pasta use what ever pasta you have on hand.
