Gluten Free Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta

Bright, garlicky, and loaded with plump shrimp, this pasta is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort it takes to pull together. The sauce builds in a single skillet — sliced garlic and red pepper flakes bloom in butter and olive oil, then white wine and halved cherry tomatoes go in to create a light, glossy pan sauce that's finished with fresh lemon zest and juice. Tossing the noodles directly in the skillet with a splash of starchy pasta water is the move that ties everything together and keeps the sauce clinging to every strand. Gluten-free pasta can sometimes feel like a compromise, but cooked just to that slight resistance at the center and finished in the sauce, it holds up beautifully here. There's no need to hunt down specialty sauces or seasonings with hidden wheat — every ingredient on this list is naturally free of gluten, so the dish works without any substitutions or workarounds. A scatter of fresh parsley brightens the whole plate, and a little grated Parmesan on top is entirely optional but very much encouraged. Serves four, and it disappears fast.
