Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, fresh and chopped
• 8 ounces Linguine or spaghetti pasta
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, followed by the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly. Stir in the lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 5

Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat them in the sauce. Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the cooked pasta, tossing it with the sauce. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish and toss gently to incorporate. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.

Step 7

Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your Shrimp Scampi Deluxe with crusty bread or a side salad!
