Pasta with shrimp and peas

Description

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain the water and return the pasta to the pot. Toss with 1 tablespoon of butter and cover with a lid. While the pasta is cooking, heat the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Add garlic and the white parts of the scallions, and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp to the saucepan and cook for about 1 minute, until they turn pink. Add the peas, wine, lemon zest, and red pepper, and cook for 1 minute. Combine the prepared mixture with the cooked pasta. Drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with green onions and watercress. Season with salt and pepper, toss well, and serve.
