Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound linguine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Cook linguine according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.
  2. While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  7. Toss to combine, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or spinach.
