Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces linguine pasta
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 4 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine (if using) and lemon juice. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce until well-coated. If needed, add reserved pasta water a few tablespoons at a time to loosen the sauce.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss gently to combine. Let everything heat through, about 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley. If desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Shrimp Over Linguine!
