Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound linguine
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook linguine according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  5. If using, pour in white wine and let it simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Add the drained linguine to the skillet with the shrimp and garlic butter.
  7. Toss to combine, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to create a smooth sauce.
  8. Stir in fresh parsley.
  9. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference.
  • If you don’t have white wine, you can use chicken broth or more reserved pasta water.
  • Ensure shrimp is not overcooked to prevent it from becoming tough.
