Ingredients

Scale

  • 12 oz linguine

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

  • ½ cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)

  • Juice of ½ lemon (plus extra wedges for serving)

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta:
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.

  2. Cook the Shrimp:
    While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Sear shrimp in a single layer for 1–2 minutes per side, until opaque and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Make the Sauce:
    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt butter. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
    Pour in white wine and simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in lemon juice.

  4. Combine Everything:
    Add cooked linguine and shrimp back to the skillet. Toss to coat, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Stir in parsley.

  5. Serve:
    Serve hot, topped with extra parsley, lemon wedges, and Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Use good-quality wine for the best flavor—if you’d drink it, you can cook with it.

  • Add baby spinach, asparagus, or cherry tomatoes for extra veggies.

  • Swap linguine for spaghetti or gluten-free pasta if preferred.
