How to Make Barefoot Contessa S Linguine With Shrimp Scampi

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and the linguine. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, usually 7-10 minutes, until al dente.
2. While the pasta cooks, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-low heat.
3. Add 6 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet.
4. Sauté for 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
5. Add 1 pound of shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink, stirring frequently.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 lemon slices, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
7. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it directly to the skillet with the shrimp and sauce.
8. Toss everything together to coat the pasta evenly.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
