Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine pasta
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.33 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter and olive oil.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Stir well to combine and allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the sauce, cooking for 1 more minute to heat through.
Add the drained linguine to the skillet. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Toss the pasta to coat evenly in the sauce.
Divide the linguine and shrimp among serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
