Shrimp Scampi Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, unsalted
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 small onion, chopped
• 1 shallot, chopped
• Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, optional
• 1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1/3–1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup (plus more for topping) parmesan cheese
• 1–2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
• 1 pound shelled & deveined, tails–on shrimp (defrosted, if using frozen)
• 1 pound spaghetti or linguine pasta
• Sliced lemons, for garnish

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil on the stove. Add the pasta noodles and cook for 7 to 8 minutes (until al dente, or not quite cooked). Drain the pasta and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil together over medium–high heat. Add the garlic, onion and shallot and the pepper flakes and sauté until translucent, approx 3-4 minutes.
3. If you love garlic like me, feel free to add more than the 2 cloves. I probably put more like 4 or 5 - but I REALLY love garlic!
4. Add the lemon juice and wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp and sauté for about 4 minutes (turn the shrimp once halfway through sauté time).
5. Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep warm.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss the noodles until they are nicely coated with the sauce. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the pasta and continue tossing the noodles until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout.
7. Remove the pasta to a large serving platter. Place the warm shrimp in a heap on top of the pasta and sprinkle the top with parmesan shavings and chopped parsley.
8. Garnish the serving platter with lemon slices and serve immediately.
