Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine or spaghetti for 8-10 minutes until al dente, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and butter. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté minced garlic and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds.
  4. Pour chicken broth and lemon juice and zest into the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.
  5. Add the cooked pasta and shrimp to the skillet, tossing together, and gradually add reserved pasta water to achieve desired sauce consistency.
  6. Stir in freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, garnished with extra lemon wedges and parsley.
