Instructions

Cook pasta: Cook the linguine pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.
Cook shrimp: While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add wine and broth: Pour in the white wine and chicken broth or clam juice (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate slightly.
Add shrimp and lemon juice: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Do not overcook the shrimp. Stir in the lemon juice.
Combine pasta and shrimp: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the shrimp and sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
Season and serve: Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Shrimp: Use fresh or frozen shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely before cooking.
Wine: Choose a dry white wine for this recipe.
Garlic: Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter.
Pasta: You can use other types of pasta, such as spaghetti or fettuccine, instead of linguine.
Spice Level: Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking.
