Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound linguine pasta
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
- Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Stir in the parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding some sun-dried tomatoes or artichoke hearts to the sauce.
