Zesty Lemon Herb Shrimp Scampi
Sautéed succulent shrimp tossed with whole wheat linguine in a bright, garlicky lemon sauce finished with fresh herbs.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz shrimp
1.5 oz whole wheat linguine
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 clove 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, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque, then stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest.
Reserve a splash of pasta water, then drain the linguine and add it directly to the skillet with the shrimp.
Toss everything together, adding a bit of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce, and finish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
