Quick And Easy Shrimp Scampi

• 1/2 pound linguine
• 1/2 pound large shrimp cleaned and peeled
• 2 tablespoons garlic Fresh, minced finely
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• kosher salt
• pepper
• 1/2 cup white wine optional
• lemon slices or Parsley Springs for Garnish, optional

1. Cook linguine according to the directions on the package, reserving a few tablespoons of the starchy pasta water.
2. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and chili flakes and saute for 2 minutes. Add shrimp and lemon zest. Cook shrimp on both sides until they turn pink-approximately 1-2 minutes on each side. Add lemon juice and parsley. Toss in cooked linguine, adding a tablespoon at a time of the pasta water until you reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with additional lemon slices or parsley springs.
3. If you would like a more saucy pasta dish, remove shrimp from skillet once they have turned pink. Add in 1/2 cup white wine and turn the heat to medium-high. Reduce the liquids for 4-5 minutes. Return shrimp to the pan and follow the rest of the recipe.
