Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces linguine pasta
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 juice of 1 lemon
  • to taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Equipment

  • Large pot for boiling pasta
  • Colander for draining pasta
  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Tongs or a spatula for tossing
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in white wine and lemon juice, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in red pepper flakes if using.
  4. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss in the sauce. Add the cooked linguine and toss until well coated. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, zest the lemon before juicing and sprinkle the zest over the finished dish.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth.
Avoid rinsing the pasta after boiling; the starch helps the sauce adhere better. Enjoy fresh lemon juice for the best flavor, and don't omit the red pepper flakes; they add a lovely spice!
