My First attempt at seafood that isn't fish

I grew up in a household that never ate seafood that wasn't fish and, up until tonight I had continued that trend in my own cooking. I have always said I don't like other seafood but I recently realized that really I was too scared to try them. Having realized the ridiculousness of that I decided to remedy that. I made and adaptation of The happy kitchen's satisfying prawn penne with broccoli.

I had to make some major adaptations to this recipe to have it today. Locally a series of floods wiped out most of the broccoli making it very hard and expensive to get. Because prawns cannot be produced locally that can be a bit pricey. In the end, I substituted frozen spinach for the broccoli and shrimp for the prawns.
In the future, I would use less lemon juice as in the end, the sauce was a little sharp. Also, I found out that shrimp are ok and even nice. I would not say they are a new favorite but they are definitely going to continue to be part of our new food mix. I found them easy enough to cook though I was paranoid about both overcooking them or undercooking them they came out well despite my fussing.

All in all a satisfying dish and a successful new food to add to the variety of our diet.
