Lemon Pepper Pasta

I love easy pasta dishes for busy nights. This recipe definitely qualifies as easy.
I get the pasta at Trader Joe's, but I'm sure you can find it at any market. You could also use a mix of seafood instead of just shrimp. The whole meal comes together easily in under 20 minutes. But I won't tell if you don't...



8 ounce package lemon pepper pasta
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
1 pound medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons capers, optional

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil, add pasta and cook as directed on package.
Drain, and return pasta to the pot.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic, lemon pepper seasoning, and shrimp in oil until shrimp is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
Toss pasta with shrimp, Parmesan cheese, & capers, if desired.
