• doses: 4 servings
• tempo ativo: 10 minutes
• tempo total: 30 minutes

Ingredientes

1 lb. linguini

1 Tbsp. olive oil

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter (divided)

1 small shallot, finely diced (about 1/3 cup)

2 cloves garlic, minced (minced)

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1/2 tsp. red pepper chili flakes (optional)

2 lemons, juiced (about 1/4-1/3 cup lemon juice). Feel free to use less if you don't want it very lemony.)

1/2 cup white wine*

16 oz. shrimp** 31-40 size

15 oz jar Alfredo sauce (we love Raos)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instruções

Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot and cook the pasta according to package directions. (Linguini usually takes around 9 minutes). Strain pasta in a colander, toss with a little olive oil if desired so pasta doesn't stick together. Set aside.

Add 2 Tbsp. butter and the olive oil to a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced shallot. Let this cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add in the garlic, salt, pepper, chili flakes and stir for ~30 seconds.

Then add in the lemon juice and wine. Simmer for 2 minutes.

If using frozen shrimp: Thaw the shrimp by placing them in a strainer and running cold water over them until fully thawed. Then add the thawed shrimp to the pan along with the remaining 2 Tbsp. butter and Alfredo sauce. Let this simmer again, but not too long so the shrimp doesn't become rubbery. If using uncooked (raw) shrimp: Add in the shrimp, remaining 2 Tbsp. butter, and Alfredo sauce and let simmer until the shrimp just begins to turn pink. (Small shrimp can cook in as little as 2 minutes!)

Stir in the parsley and Parmesan.

Mix with cooked linguine and enjoy!
