Shrimp Scampi Linguine
Shrimp Scampi Linguine is a quick and flavorful pasta dish with shrimp, garlic, butter, lemon and white wine.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 ounces linguine
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, divided
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 medium shallots, peeled and finely chopped
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 16 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to boil. Cook the pasta in the boiling water according to package instructions. Drain, but SAVE 1 cup of the pasta water and set it aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-heat, combine 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil. Add shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook 3 or 4 minutes, until the shallots are softened. Add shrimp to the skillet too, and sprinkle salt and pepper on top. Cook until the shrimp are pink and starting to curl (2 to 3 minutes). Remove the shrimp from the skillet, and wrap in foil to keep warm.
- Add the wine to the skillet, along with ¾ cup of the pasta water. Bring to a boil, and scrape the bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add remaining 2 tablespoons each of butter and oil to the pan. Bring to a simmer. Add the cooked pasta, shrimp, parsley and lemon juice to the pan. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Plate individual servings. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese on top of each.
Notes
- Save pasta water for best sauce
- Don’t overcook shrimp
- Use fresh lemon juice
- Great with linguine for best texture
- Serve immediately for best flavor
