Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine or spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shrimp in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the white wine or chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces by half.
- Combine Pasta and Shrimp: Return the shrimp to the skillet, add the cooked pasta, and toss to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water. Stir in the lemon juice and zest, and add the chopped parsley. Toss everything together until well coated.
- Serve: Serve the pasta hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and additional parsley for a pop of color.
Notes
- For a creamy version, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the sauce after adding the white wine or chicken broth.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your heat preference.
- This dish pairs well with a light salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
