Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Linguini

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the shrimp and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Lemon Juice

    Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

  4. 4

    Combine with Linguini

    Add the cooked linguini to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water and the remaining butter. Toss everything together until well combined. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if necessary. Serve immediately.
