Shrimp Scampi Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Linguini

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

2. 2

   Sauté the Shrimp

   In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).

3. 3

   Add Shrimp

   Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink and opaque (about 2-3 minutes per side).

4. 4

   Deglaze with Wine

   Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

5. 5

   Combine with Linguini

   Add the cooked linguini to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Stir in the remaining butter and chopped parsley, mixing well.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
