Directions
- Cook Pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
- Cook Shrimp. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat 2 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
- Prepare Sauce. In the same skillet, add the remaining extra virgin olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the garlic and cook for about one minute. Add Oregano, Lemon-Garlic Pepper Seasoning, and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the wine, lemon zest, and juice to the pan and let it simmer gently.
- Assemble. Return the cooked shrimp and linguine to skillet with sauce, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, thin as desired by adding some of the reserved pasta water. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Remove pan from heat and stir in the parsley. Divide the pasta between plates, garnish with Parmesan, and serve.
