Zesty Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi
Succulent shrimp sautéed in a fragrant garlic-ghee sauce tossed with whole wheat linguine and vibrant baby spinach for a zesty, satisfying finish.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Shrimp
1.5 oz Whole wheat linguine
0.5 tbsp Ghee
2 cloves Garlic
0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 cup Baby spinach
1 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, peel and devein the shrimp, then pat them completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the ghee and add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss gently for 1 minute until just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water, and add both to the skillet.
Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the garlic sauce, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
