Ingredients
Scale
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 ounces linguine or fettuccine pasta (or substitute with whole-grain pasta)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version)
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Garlic bread, for serving (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Toss in the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth), scraping the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful bits. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3 minutes, then stir in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Add the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water to the skillet. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Stir in the fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Plating the dish creatively makes all the difference. Serve the shrimp scampi in bowls and slice the garlic bread, either store-bought or homemade, into pieces to accompany the meal.
