Description

A flavorful Garden Herb Shrimp Scampi Linguine that combines succulent shrimp and fresh herbs for a delightful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound dried linguini pasta
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 zest and juice lemon
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguini according to the package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Remember to reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining!
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with kosher salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil along with the sliced zucchini and chopped shallots. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the zucchini is tender and shallots are translucent.
  4. Stir in the butter, garlic, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes to the veggies. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Pour in the white wine, along with the lemon zest and juice, and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the cooked shrimp and linguini to the skillet, tossing everything together. If the sauce seems too thick, thin it out with a bit of the reserved pasta water. Finally, stir in the fresh parsley and chives.
  6. Divide your vibrant Garden Herb Shrimp Scampi Linguine among plates and garnish with extra fresh herbs if you like. Enjoy every flavorful bite!
