Shrimp Scampi without Wine is super easy and delicious with garlic sautéed shrimp covered in a lemon butter sauce and served with perfectly cooked linguine. Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes to kick it up a notch. Ready in 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- ½ Tbsp + 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 4 oz linguine pasta
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp minced garlic (from a jar)
- ½ lb shrimp (*peeled, deveined, and tails removed)
- ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- ½ Tbsp lemon juice
- ⅛ tsp hot red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a medium sauce pan of water to a boil.
- Sprinkle in 1/2 Tbsp salt.
- Add the linguine and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or according to the package directions.
- At the same time, in a large non-stick frying pan with high sides, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat.
- Add the garlic, shrimp, 1/2 tsp of salt, and the black pepper. Cook until the shrimp have just turned pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove from the heat, and add the parsley, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
- When the pasta is done, reserve 1 Tbsp of the pasta water and add it to the pan with the shrimp.
- Drain the cooked linguine and then add it to the shrimp and sauce.
- Toss well to combine everything and serve.

Notes
- For much easier prep buy frozen shrimp that is already peeled, deveined, and has tails removed. Thaw before using.
- Break the linguine in half to make it easier to fit into the sauce pan.
- To prevent water from boiling over when you cook pasta, place a wooden spoon on top of the water.
