Zesty Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi
Sautéed shrimp tossed in a vibrant garlic and lemon sauce, served over al dente whole wheat pasta for a bright and zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz shrimp
2 oz whole wheat linguine
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat linguine until al dente.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the starchy pasta water before draining the noodles.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel skillet over medium heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side until golden and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan, sautéing for 30-45 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Deglaze the pan with lemon juice and the reserved pasta water, stirring to incorporate the lemon zest.
Return the cooked pasta and shrimp to the skillet, tossing vigorously to coat every strand in the zesty sauce.
Fold in the fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately while steaming hot.
