Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi with Linguine
Sautéed succulent shrimp tossed in a fragrant garlic-butter sauce with al dente linguine and a bright splash of lemon for a zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Large shrimp
1.5 oz Dry linguine
0.5 tbsp Unsalted butter
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves Garlic
0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
2 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
While pasta cooks, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 30-60 seconds until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and the reserved pasta water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the shrimp and the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing everything together for 1 minute to coat the pasta in the sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.
