Ingredients
Scale
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 oz linguine pasta or spaghetti
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc)
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Bread for garlic bread (e.g., French baguette or ciabatta)
Instructions
Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the linguine or spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be cautious not to burn the garlic!
Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour in the white wine and bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to reduce for about 2-3 minutes. Next, add the cooked pasta and toss to combine. If it looks dry, gradually add some reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Stir in the remaining butter, lemon juice, and zest. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
