Description

A buttery Italian pasta with garlic shrimp that tastes heavenly.

Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons parsley flakes, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups medium shrimp, shelled
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • ¼ cup dry sherry
Directions
  1. 1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  2. 2. While linguine is cooking, melt butter in a frying pan. Mix in 1 tablespoon parsley, salt, and pepper. Add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, flipping 1 or 2 times. Add 1 tablespoon parsley, lemon juice, and garlic. Cook for another 2 minutes, flipping 1 or 2 more times. Pour in sherry and cook for 1 minute.
  3. 3. Drain linguine and divide among plates. Spoon shrimp on top, reserving juices for dipping or to pour over pasta at the table. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon parsley over each plate for garnish.
