Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces linguine pasta
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add small amounts of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and gently toss to combine. Allow the dish to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
