• 1 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme

• 1 lemon, juiced and rind grated

3. Combine the butter, thyme, lemon juice and rind, and minced garlic in small skillet. Cook at medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted.

4. Serve immediately by plating the pasta with a scoop of the shrimp tomato sauce atop and finish with a generous drizzle of the thyme butter sauce.
