Description
A quick and delicious pasta dish featuring succulent shrimp in a savory white wine and garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound linguine or spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup dry white wine (like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
- Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) to the same skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the white wine and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the butter until melted.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Add the drained pasta and chopped parsley. Toss to combine.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Notes
- For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream along with the butter.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or cherry tomatoes.
