Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces linguini
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cups white wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 large lemon (zested and juiced)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguini according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil along with the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
If using white wine, pour it into the skillet and simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Return the shrimp to the pan and stir to combine. Add the cooked linguini and remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Toss everything together and add pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
Serve the linguini with garlicky shrimp and tomatoes immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
