Instructions: 

Cook the pasta shells according to package directions. Add the edamame at the beginning, and cook along with the pasta. When the pasta and edamame are done, drain and return to the saucepan.Meanwhile, while the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the shrimp and lemon juice, and cook until heated through, an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Mix the shrimp (and its juices), tomato sauce, and Parmesan cheese into the cooked pasta. Season with salt and pepper, heat through, and serve.

*Tip: Any pasta shape is fine for this dish, but the shells are nice because they “trap” the edamame.
