Description

Quick and flavorful Italian-inspired dish made with succulent shrimp, zesty lemon, and aromatic garlic

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup linguine
  • 2 lemons
  • Salt and pepper
  • 12 shrimp
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 0.25 cup butter
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.25 cup white wine
  • 0.5 cup parsley

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook linguine according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium and add white wine to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes until wine is almost completely reduced.
  5. Step 5: Add butter to the skillet and stir until melted. Stir in lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  6. Step 6: Add cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to combine with the lemon butter sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
  7. Step 7: Return shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine with the linguine and sauce.
  8. Step 8: Serve immediately, topped with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
