Zesty Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi
Sautéed shrimp and garlic tossed in a silky ghee sauce with whole grain pasta and finished with a bright, zesty lemon lift.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz shrimp
2 oz whole wheat linguine
1 tbsp ghee
3 cloves garlic
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 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 whole wheat linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Deglaze the pan with lemon juice, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water, and add both to the skillet.
Toss everything together with lemon zest and fresh parsley until the pasta is well-coated and glossy.
