ingredients

4 quarts water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3/4 pound linguine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 lemon, zested
1/4 lemon, thinly sliced in half-rounds
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

directions

Bring the water and kosher salt to a boil in a Dutch oven or 6 quart (or larger) pot. Add the linguine and cook for 7-10 minutes or until al dente.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, olive oil, and garlic and cook the garlic for a minute or two, taking care not to let it burn.

Add the shrimp, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until the shrimp are pink, about 5 minutes.

Add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon slices, and crushed red pepper. Toss well to combine.

When the pasta is cooked, drain well and return to the pot. Stir in the shrimp mixture and toss well to coat the pasta in the sauce.

Serve the pasta immediately.

  1. ubikwity REVIEW:

    This is a fantastic recipe. I make this regularly! It's very easy and doesn't take long to make. I know it says that this recipe serves three but trust me, it makes a lot and I'd use this recipe to feed six.

  2. katstubblefield REVIEW:

    This recipe has become one of my favorites and I make it every couple of weeks. It's so easy to prepare and the lemon isn't overwhelming. It actually gets rid of any shrimpy aftertaste. Love it, thanks for sharing!
