Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • ½ cup white wine
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes more as needed
  • 1 ¾ pounds large or shrimp cleaned, de-veined and shelled
  • cup chopped parsley
  • 1 lemon juiced, plus more as needed
  • 8-10 ounces linguine cooked according to the package directions

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, a pinch of salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Let wine cook down for about 2 minutes.
  • Add shrimp and sauté until they just turn pink, 3 to 4 minutes depending upon their size. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice and add cooked pasta. Toss to combine. Serve with additional lemon wedges

Notes

Don't forget a loaf of crusty bread to soak up all that amazing garlic!
