How to Make Linguini With Scampi

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water (about 6 quarts) to a rolling boil. Add 1 pound linguine and cook according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  3. While pasta cooks, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine in a 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish. Place in preheated oven until melted.
  4. Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined), 4 cloves minced garlic, and the juice of 1 lemon to the melted butter.
  5. Stir to combine. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 3 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Continue baking until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 2 more minutes.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Drain pasta and add it to a large bowl. Add the shrimp mixture to the pasta, along with a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
  9. Toss to combine and serve immediately. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
