Garlic Shrimp Scampi with Linguine
Sautéed shrimp tossed with al dente linguine in a vibrant garlic and lemon sauce, finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a zesty, aromatic bite.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz shrimp
1.5 oz dry linguine
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
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 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.
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
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 they turn pink and opaque.
Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water, then drain the linguine and add it directly to the skillet with the shrimp.
Toss everything together, adding the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
