Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pinch kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
Instructions
1
Acquire necessary components for the dish.
2
Heat a substantial quantity of salted water in a large container until it reaches a rolling boil; cook linguine in the boiling water for approximately 6 to 8 minutes, or until it is almost tender. Remove from heat and drain excess water.
3
Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter with an equal amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; this will help to create a smooth and even surface for cooking.
4
Cook the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes in the hot butter and oil mixture for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become translucent. This step is crucial in bringing out the flavors of the ingredients.
5
Sprinkle kosher salt and black pepper over the shrimp to season, then add them to the skillet. Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, stirring occasionally until they turn pink and are cooked through. Set the shrimp aside to keep warm.
6
Add white wine and lemon juice to the skillet, stirring constantly as it comes to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits of food off the bottom and sides of the skillet, releasing all the flavors.
7
Melt an additional 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet and stir in another 2 tablespoons of olive oil, creating a rich and creamy sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
8
Combine cooked linguine, shrimp, and parsley in the skillet with the butter sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
9
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the dish, just enough to bring out the flavors and add moisture.
