  1. This is an awesome recipe. I love lemon and garlic.
    I frequently use both with shrimp or chicken and serve it with thin spaghetti.

    • Hi John, I used 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, which is coarse and not as much compared to table salt. You can use 1/2 teaspoon regular salt. I have updated my recipe as most people use table salt.
