Delicious Shrimp Dinner Recipes: Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta

Ingredients

• 8 oz linguine pasta
• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and white wine (if using), bringing the mixture to a simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
5. Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, mixing until the butter melts and combines with the sauce.
6. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the garlic butter sauce and shrimp.
7. Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
