Ingredients

Vegetable oil
Kosher salt
3/4 pound linguine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
1 pound large shrimp (about 16 shrimp), peeled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 lemon, zest grated
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 lemon, thinly sliced in half-rounds
1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

Directions

Drizzle some oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the linguine, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or according to the directions on the package.

Meanwhile, in another large (12-inch), heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Be careful, the garlic burns easily! Add the shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat, add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.

When the pasta is done, drain the cooked linguine and then put it back in the pot. Immediately add the shrimp and sauce, toss well, and serve.

from what the boyfriend said...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this tonight for my boyfriend because he wanted something with shrimp. I followed the recipe exactly. Personally, I'm... not a huge shrimp fan, so I am basing my review off his comments. He said the shrimp were delicious and kept asking for more, but he said that the lemon was a little overpowering and he wished there was less pasta and more shrimp. My roommate tried it too and she agreed with his comments. From a cooking standpoint, it was a very simple and foolproof dish. I really only had to buy shrimp and parsley as I had everything else on hand, it was fast (ready in 15 minutes), and very easy to put together. Happy cooking!Read more

A wonderful Scampi recipe, fresh and light
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is so good and comes together in 10 or 15 minutes. You can start your pasta and do the scampi and sauce while... it's cooking. So great when you want to entertain or put a great dinner on the table in a flash. Because I can never leave well enough alone, I make a couple small changes to Ina's original recipe. I use a chopped green onion instead of parsley, I add a diced shallot in with the garlic, and I use the lemon juice and lemon slices, but not the zest of the lemon. Meyer lemons add a really special flavor to the sauce. At serving time, I squeeze on a little more lemon and a drizzle of olive oil. Bellisimo!!Read more
