# Instructions:
01 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.

While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Don’t let it brown!

Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes per side. Don't overcrowd; cook in batches if needed.
04 -
Pour in white wine and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing alcohol to cook off.
05 -
Add cooked pasta and reserved pasta water to the skillet. Toss to coat. Add parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using).
06 -
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parmesan and fresh parsley. A squeeze of extra lemon juice is nice too!
# Notes:

Don't forget to salt your pasta water!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
