Ingredients

• 12 oz linguine pasta
• 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.33 cup honey
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter and olive oil.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Stir well to combine and allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.

Step 7

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the sauce, cooking for 1 more minute to heat through.

Step 8

Add the drained linguine to the skillet. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Toss the pasta to coat evenly in the sauce.

Step 9

Divide the linguine and shrimp among serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
