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.

EXTREMELY ORDINARY!!!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I made this last night for me and my husband. We live in Florida and have seafood a lot. We both thought this was very... ordinary and didn't have a lot of flavor. It certainly was not worth the effort. We now have a lot of leftovers .....I'll try to salvage them somehow. Read more

Shrimp Scampi
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been making this for years in the microwave. Melt butter, then add garlic and cook for one minute. Add red pepper... flakes if desired and cook at high for 1 minute. Add Shrimp, wine, lemon juice, salt, parsley and cook for 3 and 1/2 minutes. This gives the very same results as the recipe that is cooked on stove top, but with much less trouble. Read more
