Main Ingredients

Pasta (optional)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    If using pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prep Shrimp and Sauce

    While the pasta is cooking, prepare the shrimp and sauce.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted and bubbling, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 4

    Cook Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.

  3. 5

    Add Wine and Lemon Juice

    Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping any bits off the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

  4. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Once the sauce has reduced, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Add the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 7

    Combine with Pasta

    If you cooked pasta, add it to the skillet with the shrimp and sauce. Toss to combine and heat through.
