Ingredients
- 1 pound linguini
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin , plus more for drizzling
- 2 shallots finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Pinch red pepper flakes optional
- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
- salt Kosher
- black pepper freshly ground
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 lemon use the juice
- ¼ cup parsley finely chopped leaves
Instructions
- 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.
