Instructions
THIS RECIPE COMES TOGETHER VERY QUICKLY. I recommend while the shrimp marinates that you get all your ingredients measured and prepped.
In a large bowl toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, ½ teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Let this marinate for 15-20 minutes.
In a large pot of salted boiling water cook the linguine per package instructions.
12 oz linguine
While the pasta is cooking, in a large skillet over medium heat add the remaining 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. When it is hot sauté the shrimp for approx. 1 minute per side. Using tongs transfer the shrimp to a plate.
In the same skillet add the remaining 3 minced garlic cloves and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, sauté for 30 second, not allowing the garlic to brown.
Pour in the wine and lemon juice and simmer for about 2 minutes.
½ cup dry white wine, 3 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
Add the cubed butter and simmer in the sauce until it is melted and the sauce is thickening, about 1 minute.
5 tablespoon butter
Add the shrimp to the pan along with any juices from the plate, chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and the cooked linguine.
2 tablespoon chopped parsley
Toss everything together so the pasta is coated with the sauce.
Serve immediately with fresh grated parmesan cheese.

Notes
Storing: Store any leftover Shrimp Scampi Linguine in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 3 days. Reheating: The butter/oil will solidify on the pasta and shrimp when it is in the fridge. Add very little broth/water and reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat.Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Make sure that you use Extra Virgin Olive Oil, not regular olive oil.
