Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 oz Linguine or spaghetti noodles
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine or spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining, then set the noodles aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink. Flip the shrimp and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Stir in the lemon juice, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute to combine the flavors.
Toss the cooked noodles in the skillet, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water as needed to coat the noodles in the sauce.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and gently toss with the noodles to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if using. Serve warm and enjoy!
