Food 911 Ingredients:
1 lb linguine |
4 tablespoons butter |
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling |
2 shallots, finely diced |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional) |
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined |
kosher salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
1 lemon, juice of |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves |
Directions:
1. For the pasta, put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When it has come to the boil, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and the linguini. Stir to make sure the pasta separates; cover. When the water returns to a boil, cook for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the pasta is not quite done. Drain the pasta.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) until the shallots are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep warm. Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over a bit more olive oil and serve immediately.
