Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 garlic cloves finely chopped
- ½ cup white wine like Sauvignon Blanc
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes more as needed
- 1 ¾ pounds large or shrimp cleaned, deveined, and shelled
- ⅓ cup parsley finely chopped
- 1 lemon juiced, plus more as needed
- 8-10 ounces linguine cooked according to the package directions
Instructions
- Cook the linguine according to package directions. Reserve a splash of pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, just until fragrant (don’t let it brown).
- Add the white wine, a big pinch of salt, red pepper flakes, and a few cracks of black pepper. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook down for about 2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re pink and just cooked through.
- Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss everything together to coat. If the sauce looks a little tight, add a splash of that reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
- Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Don't forget a loaf of crusty bread to soak up all that amazing garlic!
