1- pound large 21-25 shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 20 shrimp)
2 tablespoon salt plus 1/2 teaspoon salt divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
4 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed (2 lemons)

Instructions

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.
