• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.25 cup white wine
• 0.25 cup parsley
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese

• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the plant-based shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are heated through and slightly crisp.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer. Let cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir until the butter melts and the sauce becomes creamy.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss to coat it with the garlic butter sauce.
