  2       tb           Olive oil
  4       md           Garlic cloves, chopped fine
  1       lb           Medium-sized shrimp, shelled
                       -and deveined
  1       c            Rich, salt-free fish stock
    1/2   c            Dry white wine
    1/4   c            Italian parsley, finely

 In a large skillet, heat the oil with the garlic over moderate-to-high
 heat. When the garlic sizzles, add the shrimp and saute just until they
 turn pink, about 1 minute. Stir in the fish stock, wine, parsley, and
 lemon zest.

 In a small cup or bowl, stir the cornstarch into the lemon juice until it
 dissolves, then stir that mixture into the ingredients in the skillet.
 Simmer until the sauce begins to thicken slightly, about 1 minute.

 Spoon the sauce over cooked pasta. Season generously with black pepper.
