Zesty Garlic Shrimp Scampi with Linguine
Sautéed succulent shrimp tossed with al dente linguine in a vibrant garlic-lemon sauce that delivers a bright and zesty kick.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz raw shrimp
1.5 oz dry linguine pasta
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 clove garlic
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and slightly curled.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water, then drain the linguine and add it directly into the skillet with the shrimp.
Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and the reserved pasta water to the pan, tossing everything together for 1 minute to create a light sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.
