Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi
Sautéed succulent shrimp tossed in a fragrant garlic and ghee sauce, served over whole wheat linguine with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounce Large shrimp
1.5 ounce Whole wheat linguine
1.5 teaspoon Ghee
1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves Garlic
0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
0.25 teaspoon 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 completely dry with paper towels and season them evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil and ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the ghee is melted and shimmering.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 30 seconds until the garlic is golden and fragrant.
Stir in the baby spinach and lemon juice, tossing constantly until the spinach just begins to wilt.
Drain the linguine, reserving a small amount of pasta water, and add the noodles and cooked shrimp back into the skillet.
Toss everything together to coat the pasta in the garlic sauce, adding a splash of pasta water if needed for moisture, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
