Shrimp Linguine with Lemon
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (16 ounce) package fresh linguine pasta
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a substantial container with salted water and placing it on the stovetop to reach its boiling point.
2
Meanwhile, heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large cooking vessel over a moderate temperature. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then cook them in the hot oil by stirring constantly until they become opaque, approximately 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat source.
3
Prepare a separate container by submerging it in boiling water until the linguine is cooked to the desired level of tenderness, yet still retains some firmness when bitten into. This should take 1 to 3 minutes. Once done, drain the linguine and reserve 2 tablespoons of cooking water for later use.
4
In a small saucepan, combine lemon zest and juice over medium heat to bring it to a gentle simmer. Add some chopped parsley to the saucepan and stir until the butter has melted. Introduce the reserved cooking water into the mixture, stirring well to combine. Add the cooked shrimp to the lemon sauce.
5
Mix together the linguine, lemon-shrimp sauce, and grated Parmesan cheese in a large serving dish.
