This simple Shrimp Linguine recipe is covered in a lemon butter sauce that will have you licking your plate clean! The best part is it's made in less than 20 minutes!
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add a little bit of oil and salt to the boiling water and cook the linguine according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt and pepper and set aside.
Add the butter and olive oil to an extra-large skillet over medium-low. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shrimp and sauté just until they turn pink, about 4-5 minutes, tossing often.
Remove from the heat and add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes.
Toss to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
When the pasta is cooked, drain the water and add the noodles to the sauté pan.
Top with fresh parmesan cheese and toss everything gently to combine. Serve.
