Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Linguine

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and capers. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften. Add the lemon juice and remaining butter, stirring until melted and combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Everything

    Return the shrimp to the skillet and add the cooked linguine. Toss everything together, allowing the sauce to coat the pasta and shrimp evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious shrimp scampi!
