A comforting, easy dish of shrimp and pasta in a rich, buttery garlic sauce, all cooked in one pot for minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 6–8 cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (or to taste)
  • 1 pound Linguine or Fettuccine
  • 4 cups Low-Sodium Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 1 pound Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 Lemon (about 2–3 tablespoons)
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter and oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Toss in pasta and pour in broth, seasoning with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring periodically until nearly al dente.
  5. Arrange shrimp on top of the pasta, cover, and cook for another 2-4 minutes until shrimp are cooked through.
  6. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and parsley; adjust seasoning as desired.
  7. Serve garnished with extra parsley and Parmesan if using.

Notes

Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier melting. When using frozen shrimp, fully thaw and pat dry before cooking.
