How to Make Elswet's Chicken Shrimp Scampi

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  3. Add chicken (or shrimp) to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes for chicken, 3-5 minutes for shrimp).
  4. Pour in white wine and lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
  5. Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper.
  6. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
  7. Stir in Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
