Prep time: 15 minutesCook time: 10 minutesServes: 4
Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
8 oz linguine pasta
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
4. Pour the white wine and lemon juice into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
5. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and return the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for another minute until heated through.
6. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Serve immediately.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheating
Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to loosen the sauce, until heated through.
