Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook 8 oz linguine until al dente, reserving 1 cup pasta water before draining.
Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then remove shrimp and set aside.
Step 4: Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup dry white wine, scraping up browned bits, and simmer for 2 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 5: Return shrimp to the skillet, add drained linguine, and toss to coat. Add 1/4 cup reserved pasta water if sauce seems dry, cooking for 1 minute until sauce thickens and coats pasta. Stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
