Ingredients

0.75 pound linguine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1.25 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
3 clove garlic (minced)
0.25 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
2 tablespoon butter
0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
5 ounce mixed greens
2 tablespoon Italian dressing

Instructions

Cook 3/4 pound linguine pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water before draining. Toss 5 ounces mixed greens with 2 tablespoons Italian dressing for the side salad and set aside.
While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in 1/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth) and 2 tablespoons lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in 2 tablespoons butter until melted. Return cooked shrimp to the skillet along with the drained linguine. Add 1/4 cup reserved pasta water and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Toss to coat everything evenly. Season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper if needed.
Serve the Lemon Garlic Shrimp Linguine immediately with the green salad.

Notes

For best results, do not overcook the shrimp, as it can become tough. They cook very quickly.
