Impress your guests with Shrimp Scampi Pasta—a quick and easy seafood dish. Plump shrimp in a buttery garlic sauce with white wine and lemon juice. So good, you'll want to savor every bite! Ready in just 25 minutes.
Fill a large pot with water and season with about ½ tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. This will take about 10 minutes, enough time to prepare the ingredients.
Get all your prep done before you start cooking: finely chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the parsley.
Thaw, peel and devein the shrimp. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
Add the linguine to the boiling water and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until al dente. Then drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
In the meantime, heat oil and butter over medium high in a large skillet. Add shrimp and place in a single layer. Sear for 1 minute per side, then remove from skillet into a clean bowl.
To the skillet, add garlic and onion. Cook for 1 minute over medium low, until soft and fragrant. Stir in lemon zest, followed by chili flakes, oregano and the remaining salt and pepper.
Deglaze the skillet with white wine, simmer for 2 minutes while you scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of your skillet with a wooden spoon.
Add the remaining butter, whisk until melted and the sauce lightens in color and starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and parsley. Next add shrimp and linguine, followed by ¼ cup cooking water. Toss to coat the pasta with the sauce. Serve immediately!
