A delightful Shrimp Scampi Pasta with succulent shrimp in a lemony butter and garlic sauce, served with tender linguine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces linguine or spaghetti
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. Sauté the butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the shrimp, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Toss in the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water, mixing well to coat the pasta with the shrimp and sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese on top for that extra burst of flavor.

Notes

Always reserve some pasta water to help bind and thicken your sauce. For a creamier version, stir in a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream before serving.
