Southern-Style Lemon Garlic Shrimp Scampi - Page 2

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine or spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water, and set aside.
Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté garlic and red pepper flakes for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in white wine (or chicken broth) and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Combine Pasta and Shrimp: Return shrimp to the skillet, then add the cooked pasta. Toss to coat in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed for a smooth consistency.
Finish and Serve: Stir in chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges for extra brightness.
