I promise you that if you’ve never attempted to make your own shrimp scampi, now is the time. It’s super simple and absolutely fabulous. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add them to the pan and cook for one minute on each side. Add the garlic then cook another minute. Remove the shrimp from the pan leaving as much garlic behind as possible. Set aside. Add the wine to the pan. Scrape any crispy bits off the bottom of the pan and mix it into the wine. This adds a lot of flavor! Bring to a boil and reduce the sauce by half. Lower the heat to a simmer, add the lemon zest, parsley, and remaining butter, stir until melted. Add the linguine to the pan. Add the shrimp back into the pan. Then add the lemon juice. Serve immediately to avoid over cooking the pasta and shrimp.
