Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta: A Scrumptious Recipe for Quick and Flavorful Comfort Food!"

Ingredients:

- 8 ounces (225g) linguine pasta

- 1 pound (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

- Salt and black pepper, to taste

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

- 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth

- 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)

- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving


Instructions:

1. Cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.


2. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper.


3. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.


4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.


5. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, white wine (if using), and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.


6. Add the cooked linguine pasta to the skillet along with the cooked shrimp. Toss everything together until the pasta and shrimp are coated evenly with the garlic butter sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it.


7. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle chopped parsley over the pasta. Toss once more to combine.


8. Serve the garlic butter shrimp pasta immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!


This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner at home and can be easily customized with your favorite ingredients like cherry tomatoes, spinach, or mushrooms. Enjoy!
