Instead, it should turn translucent. Then add the green beans. Cook for around 2 minutes. Add the shrimps. Keep stirring. Cook the shrimps till they are 1/3 cooked. Then sprinkle the flour and cook for another minute. Add the shrimp stock, and keep stirring constantly. Once the shrimps are cooked, add the lemon juice, basil and parsley. Add the pasta to this mixture, and then add the cheese and black pepper. Stir well. Cover the pan and let it cook until the liquid is absorbed by the pasta.
Add some olive oil, and then transfer to a serving dish. Your shrimp scampi pasta is ready to be enjoyed by you and your family.
