1/2 cup Onion, Chopped
4 cloves Garlic, Minced
pinch or 2 Red Pepper Flakes, depending on how spicy you like it.

salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth

2 tbsp Olive Oil 
2 tsp Lemon Juice, or juice of one lemon

Cook pasta al dente. In a large skillet melt 2 tbsp each of margarine and oil. Add onion and garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute until transparent. Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook thoroughly until pink. Add broth, lemon juice, 2 tbsp each of margarine and oil. Add pasta to skillet. Serve =)

* I added just a few tbsp of heavy cream to the liquid. I like it a little more saucy and thick.
