Once the shrimp are cooked just until they are opaque and the pasta is al denté, just toss them together for a match made in heaven. The shrimp is tender and flavorful, and the linguine is an excellent base for the buttery garlic sauce with just a hint of spice.

STEP 1

Before you start cooking, mince the Garlic (3 clove) and Shallot (1). Grate the Lemon (1 tsp) and Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup) and finely chop the Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley (3 Tbsp).

STEP 2

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. While the water comes to a boil, peel and devein the Shrimp (0.5 lb) set aside.

STEP 3

Place a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat. Melt Unsalted Butter (1.5 oz) and Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) and allow to bubble slightly. At this time, your water should be boiling: add the Linguine (0.5 lb) cook to al denté.

STEP 4

Once the butter and olive oil have begun to bubble, add the garlic, shallot, and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/4 tsp) and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently so the garlic does not burn.

STEP 5

Add the shrimp, Salt (3/4 tsp) and Ground Black Pepper (1/2 tsp) to the frying pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp is pink and opaque on both sides.

STEP 6

Remove the frying pan from the heat and add the lemon zest, Lemon Juice (1 1/2 Tbsp) and parsley. Toss well and adjust seasoning to taste.

STEP 7

When al denté, drain the linguine in a colander and add it to the shrimp mixture. Toss to coat all pasta.

STEP 8

Scoop pasta and shrimp onto dinner plates and top generously with parmesan cheese.
