Ingredients

  1. 1 pound linguini
  2. 4 tablespoons butter
  3. 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  4. 2 shallots, finely diced
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
  7. 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  8. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  9. 1/2 cup dry white wine
  10. Juice of 1 lemon
  11. 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. For the pasta, put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When it has come to the boil, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and the linguini. Stir to make sure the pasta separates; cover. When the water returns to a boil, cook for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the pasta is not quite done. Drain the pasta.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) until the shallots are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep warm. Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over a bit more olive oil and serve immediately.

The wine and lemon juice should be doubled
William Keith
Delicious, clean, easy. Bright and fresh with lemon juice and parsley.

I used the recipe as a base. I marinated my shrimp in Old Bay and No Salt Garlic and Herb seasoning, which I also added to the sauce. I also added extra garlic (never enough garlic). Because I like a lot of sauce (and not all the fat), I added a can of low salt chicken broth with the butter, olive oil, wine and lemon.

I did it exactly per the recipe and it’s extremely bland. Really doesn’t have a whole Lotta flavor so I don’t get it. I thought it would taste a lot better than it did but it doesn’t.
Madison Smith
Quick, easy and delicious

Excellent

Absolutely delicious. Made twice in a week, the family loves it. It has quickly become a favorite. Made a few minor adjustments of my own to suit our taste, but the recipe it’s very good.

This was the first time I used this recipe. I agree a pound of linguine was too much. I will increase the butter and oil. It was quick and easy, I’m always looking for something new and easy. I give it 5 stars.
