Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• Linguine or Spaghetti – 1 pound (450g)

• Large Shrimp – 1.5 pounds (680g), peeled and deveined

• Unsalted Butter – 6 tablespoons (85g)

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 3 tablespoons (45ml)

• Garlic – 8–10 cloves, minced

• Red Pepper Flakes – 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)

• Dry White Wine or Chicken Broth – 1/4 cup (60ml)

• Fresh Lemon – 1, for juice and zest

• Fresh Parsley – 1/2 cup, chopped

• Reserved Pasta Water – 1 cup (240ml)

• Salt and Black Pepper – to taste

• Grated Parmesan Cheese – 1/2 cup, for serving

Directions

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine or spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

2. Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Cook the shrimp in batches until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic and red pepper flakes until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the white wine or chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.

5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Gradually add the reserved pasta water, stirring until the sauce emulsifies and becomes creamy.

6. Finish the Dish: Stir in the lemon juice and zest, chopped parsley, and the cooked shrimp. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

7. Serve: Divide the pasta among serving plates. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
