Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 1 whole Lemon, juiced and zested
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 12 ounces Cooked linguine or pasta of choice
Instructions
Prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining if not already done.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
Once the butter has melted, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through; remove the shrimp and set aside.
To the same skillet, add the white wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Allow the wine to reduce by half, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, swirling to create a silky sauce.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and add salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Stir well to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing until well combined and heated through.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
