Ingredients

Vegetable oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt plus 1 1/2 teaspoons more
3/4 pound linguine pasta
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons quality olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
1 pound large shrimp (approximately 16), peeled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves
Zest from 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup freshly pressed lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1/4 lemon, thinly sliced into half rounds
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

Add a splash of vegetable oil to a large pot of boiling salted water, then stir in 1 tablespoon kosher salt and the linguine. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or follow package instructions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, in a large (12-inch) heavy-bottomed skillet, combine the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and saut for about 1 minute, taking care not to burn it. Toss in the shrimp along with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are just pink, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and fold in parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly.
Once the pasta is ready, drain the linguine and return it to the pot. Immediately add the shrimp mixture and toss well to coat the pasta evenly. Serve promptly for maximum freshness and flavor!
