Ingredients

  • 12 ounces linguine pasta
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds large shrimp shells removed and reserved
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup pasta water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook linguine according to package instructions.
  • Optional but recommended: Simmer chicken broth in a small saucepan with a handful of shrimp shells for five minutes, then strain broth to remove the shells.
  • Melt butter with olive oil in a large sauté pan set over medium heat, then add shrimp and cook approximately two minutes per side, or until pink and no longer translucent.
  • Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside. Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for one minute.
  • Add chicken broth, pasta water, and lemon juice to the pan and bring to a boil. Let the liquid cook until it reduces in half.
  • Return shrimp to the pan along with chopped parsley, then add cooked noodles and toss well to combine. Add salt and black pepper as desired.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

If your noodles are done boiling before they are ready to combine with the sauce drizzle a little oil into the noodles to prevent them from sticking together as they sit.
 
You can serve this meal with fresh grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
