Method

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; cook linguine in boiling water until nearly tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain.

Melt 2 tbsp butter with 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until shallots are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.

Season shrimp with kosher salt and black pepper. Add to the skillet; cook until pink, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes.

Transfer shrimp to a plate; keep warm.

Add white wine and lemon juice to the skillet; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.

Melt remaining 2 tbsp butter in the skillet; stir in 2 tbsp olive oil and bring to a simmer.

Toss linguine, shrimp and parsley in butter mixture until coated; season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil to serve.

Serve hot and enjoy!
