Ingredients

• 12 oz Linguini
• 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 Lemon (zested and juiced)
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup White wine
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguini according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Stir in the chicken broth, white wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Increase the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 4-5 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 5

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 6

Add the cooked linguini to the skillet, tossing to combine. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
