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.

Ah Wun-aful, ah Wun-aful!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Can't understand why some people claim this recipe is dry. DRY?? If you make it correctly, it is very moist and extremely... flavorful. A little time-consuming-- but what worthwhile isn't? Curiously, I noticed that this same recipe is listed twice (consecutively) and one calls for ONE shallot, while the other calls for TWO. Either way, it is great.Read more

Quick, Easy, and Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I actually made this with bay scallops instead of shrimp because that is what I had on hand. I basically followed the... directions, using onions instead of shallots and dried parsley (1/8 cup) instead of fresh. It was incredible!!! I made it for my husband's birthday, and he was very impressed. It will definitely be on my go-to list of dinners. It has simple ingredients and didn't take long to make at all. Though, I agree with another poster: have all the ingredients prepared and ready beforehand so you can throw them in the pan easily. Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We've made this many times and we keep coming back to it for a selected easy, delicious shrimp dinner. Our 9yr. old who LOVES... food network adds cherry tomatoes and parsley to it and a bit more garlic. Thank you Tyler :-)Read more
