1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Sauté Garlic and Shrimp
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the shrimp. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the garlic butter sauce. If necessary, add a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce.
4
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately. Adjust seasoning if needed.
