How to Make Linguini With Garlicky Shrimp And Fresh Tomatoes

  1. Cook linguine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

  6. Return shrimp to the skillet. Cook until heated through (about 1 minute).
  7. Add the cooked linguine, parsley, and lemon juice. Toss gently to combine and coat the pasta evenly.
