Shrimp Scampi Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Cook the Pasta

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

2

Sauté the Shrimp

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Add the Shrimp

Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

4

Deglaze the Pan

Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

5

Combine with Pasta

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning as needed.

6

Serve

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
