Barefoot Contessa’s Shrimp Scampi Linguine recipe is a weeknight meal you can make in just about 30 minutes. Shrimp cooked in a delicious lemon butter sauce and then mixed with linguine is an impressive dish that you can easily make on a Tuesday night.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large heavy-bottom pan. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute.
Add shrimp, salt and pepper and cook each side for 2 minutes. Take it off the heat and add the lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and lemon slices. Toss to combine.
Add 1 tablespoon salt into a large pot of water and bring it to a boil. Once boiled, add the fresh Linguine and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Drain the Linguine and place it back to the pot. Add the shrimp and give it all a big toss.
To serve, sprinkle it with more fresh parsley and if desired, add a couple of drops of Tabasco Sauce.
