Ingredients

• 12 ounces linguini pasta
• 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, if using, and the lemon juice. Stir and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked linguini to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the sauce. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 7

Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss gently until heated through.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the garlicky shrimp and linguini immediately. Top with grated Parmesan if desired.
