Ingredients
- 12 ounces linguine noodles (342g)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined (450g)
- 6 garlic cloves finely chopped
- ⅓ cup lemon juice (about 3 lemons) (80mL)
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 lemon thinly sliced into half rounds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (20g)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the linguine noodles and cook until al dente according to package directions, 8 to 9 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- While the pasta boils, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter melts. Add the shrimp and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally and turning the shrimp, until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, lemon zest, lemon slices, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Reduce to medium-low heat.
- Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine. Serve immediately topped with Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- Generously salt the pasta water. Salting the water adds significant flavor to the pasta and enhances the texture, making it perfectly firm yet tender. For the best results, I recommend using about 1-2 tablespoons of salt per gallon of water.
- Achieve the perfect sauce consistency. Reserve ¼-½ cup of pasta water before you drain the noodles and gradually stir it into the cooked sauce after you add the cooked pasta until you have achieved a saucy consistency that coats all of the pasta. This will also enhance the overall flavor of the dish!
- Leave shrimp tails on. This is optional, but you can leave the tails of the shrimp on (still removing the main shells) to add flavor and enhance the presentation of the dish. Or, if you prefer, remove the tails before cooking.
- Add extra veggies. Feel free to include additional vegetables like spinach, asparagus, or cherry tomatoes for added flavor and texture.
