Instructions
- Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot and cook the pasta according to package directions. (Linguini usually takes around 9 minutes). Strain pasta in a colander, toss with a little olive oil if desired so pasta doesn't stick together. Set aside.
- Add 2 Tbsp. butter and the olive oil to a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced shallot. Let this cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add in the garlic, salt, pepper, chili flakes and stir for ~30 seconds.
- Then add in the lemon juice and wine. Simmer for 2 minutes.
- If using frozen shrimp: Thaw the shrimp by placing them in a strainer and running cold water over them until fully thawed. Then add the thawed shrimp to the pan along with the remaining 2 Tbsp. butter and Alfredo sauce. Let this simmer again, but not too long so the shrimp doesn't become rubbery. If using uncooked (raw) shrimp: Add in the shrimp, remaining 2 Tbsp. butter, and Alfredo sauce and let simmer until the shrimp just begins to turn pink. (Small shrimp can cook in as little as 2 minutes!)
- Stir in the parsley and Parmesan.
- Mix with cooked linguine and enjoy!

Notes
- *If needed, use water or chicken broth instead of white wine. The white wine really adds great flavor, but broth or water work fine in a pinch!
- **Shrimp options:
- pre-cooked, 91/110 size, tails and shell off)
- You can use fully-cooked frozen shrimp (pre-cooked, 91/110 size, tails and shell off)
- Or you can also use uncooked raw shrimp 31-40 size for this recipe. Just make sure to adjust the time you allow the sauce to simmer once you've added the shrimp because shrimp can get rubbery if it overcooks.
