Ingredients

• 12 oz Linguine
• 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc)
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 whole Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

Step 2

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until melted and combined.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

To the same skillet, add the white wine and bring it to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Cook for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, creating a silky sauce.

Step 8

Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. If the pasta seems too dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.

Step 9

Return the shrimp to the skillet and gently mix until warmed through, about 1 minute.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese on the side, if desired. Enjoy your Shrimp Scampi Ala Norelllaura!
