Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 3

    Add the Shrimp

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

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the shrimp. Pour in the reserved pasta water, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
