Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add linguine or spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1.5 cups of pasta water, then drain the noodles without rinsing.
  2. Pat the shrimp dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  3. Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes until pink and firm. Remove from skillet.
  5. Deglaze the skillet with wine or chicken broth, scraping the bottom. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce by half.
  6. Add reserved pasta water and lemon juice to the skillet. Whisk until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss with the drained pasta. Stir in parsley and lemon zest. Serve hot with extra parsley and Parmesan cheese.
