Shrimp Scampi Linguine is an easy dinner recipe that feels luxurious. Simply saute the shrimp in butter with garlic and white wine, then mix with pasta!
Cook the linguine in a large pot of salted, boiling water according to package instructions.
A few minutes before the pasta is cooked, set a large pan over medium heat and add olive oil with 1 tbsp butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted, add shrimp with a pinch of salt and cook for 1 minute on each side, then remove to a separate plate.
To the same pan add the remaining butter and sliced garlic and saute over low heat for 1 minute, then add lemon juice and wine, bring to a slow simmer and let it bubble away for 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces a bit. Keep it warm on low heat.
Once the pasta is done, drain it while reserving ½ cup of pasta water. Add the pasta water and the pasta to the sauce, return the shrimp with the juices back to the pan and toss everything together. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Then sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
