  • 1 pound linguine noodles (, white or wheat)
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic (, minced)
  • 1 pound large shrimp (, about 20 shrimp, peeled and deveined)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper (, to taste)

  • 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.

  • 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.
