Ingredients

  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • Vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon  kosher salt plus 1 1/2 teaspoons
  • 3/4 pound  linguine
  • 3 tablespoons  unsalted butter
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons  good olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons  minced garlic  (4 cloves)
  • 1 pound  large shrimp (about 16 shrimp), peeled and deveined
  • 1/3 cup  chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/2 lemon, zest grated
  • 1/4 cup  freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
  • 1/4 lemon, thinly sliced in half-rounds
  • 1/8 teaspoon  hot red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Drizzle some oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the linguine, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or according to the directions on the package.
  • Meanwhile, in another large (12-inch), heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Be careful, the garlic burns easily!  Add the shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • Remove from the heat, add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.
  • When the pasta is done, drain the cooked linguine and then put it back in the pot. Immediately add the shrimp and sauce, toss well, and serve.
