Ingredients

1 pound linguini
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 shallots, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves

Directions

For the pasta, put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When it has come to the boil, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and the linguini. Stir to make sure the pasta separates; cover. When the water returns to a boil, cook for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the pasta is not quite done. Drain the pasta.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) until the shallots are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep warm. Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over a bit more olive oil and serve immediately.

Superb!! A Big Hit!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this dish before in the past. Made it again last week and it's always a hit in our home. Since I'm a garlic and shrimp... lover, I always add 1 extra clove of garlic and add an extra 1/2 lb of shrimp. I prefer using extra large or jumbo shrimp.......mmmmm!! Served it with home made garlic bread and a glass of white wine! Great dish to use if you want to impress friends and family at a dinner party {wink} :-DRead more

Fantastic

Yes, it is simple but the key is preparation! Also like Stephanie says, it is about multi-tasking - especailly since I also... did garlic bread at the same time. Wonderfl meal!Read more

Wonderful!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband loves this meal! He keeps asking for me to make it again and again. My only tip is to make sure you're multi... tasking. So that way it all finishes at the same time and is really scumptious!Read more

The perfect recipe to memorize and whip out when needed
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is so simple to make and, if made with quality ingredients, provides a dinner that rivals those you find in... restaurants. Fresh parsley, I found, makes all the difference. The light, velvety sauce is perfect and not to over-bearing. I make it at least every other month because everyone loves it!Read more
