This started out as a shrimp scampi recipe. It has since morphed into just a great seafood sauce with which you can use any shellfish you like. I have used shrimp, small lobster and scallops.

Ingredients

15 Min.
2 servings
  1. (1) Lb. "Thin" spaghetti or Linguini
  2. (1) Lb. shrimp (peeled/deveined)
  3. (4) Tbsp. butter
  4. (4) Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  5. (2) Shallots (finely diced)
  6. Red pepper flakes
  7. (6) Cloves garlic (minced)
  8. (1/2) Cup dry white wine or cooking wine
  9. Juice of 1 lemon
  10. Kosher salt and black pepper
  11. (1/4) Cup finely chopped parsley
  12. Parmesan cheese

Cooking Instructions

15 Min.
  1. 1

    In a large pot, fill to 3/4 with water. Add 1 Tbsp. salt. Bring to a boil.

  2. 2

    Add spaghetti/linguini and boil until al dente per the instructions.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Sauté the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using, just a couple of shakes) until the shallots are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside in a bowl. Keep warm if possible. Not a big deal.

  7. 7

    Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Reduce down by 1/2.

  8. 8

    Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta.

  9. 9

    Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve in large bowls.
