• 2 tsp lemon zest
• 6 tbsp lemon juice (divided)
• 1.5 lb medium shrimp (peeled and deveined (38 to 40 count))
• Kosher salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)
• 3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
• 1 shallot (finely chopped)
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 4 clove garlic (large, thinly sliced)
• 1.25 cup dry white wine
• 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley (chopped)

Steps

1. 1

   Cook linguine per package directions.

2. 2

   Drain the pasta, transfer it to a large bowl, and toss with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry and toss in a medium bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt.

4. 4

   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate (the shrimp will finish cooking later).

5. 5

   Repeat the searing process with another 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining shrimp.

   Add the chopped shallot and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

8. 8

   Add the sliced garlic and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.

9. 9

   Add the white wine and simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 to 4 minutes.

10. 10

    Stir in the lemon zest, the remaining 4 tablespoons of lemon juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; simmer until slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes.

    Add the shrimp back into the skillet and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.

    Sprinkle with parsley and serve the shrimp over the linguine, drizzled with the pan juices.
