You can omit the shrimp and just

have the linguine noodles and sauce :)

Ingredients

(Varied a bit from the net's recipe)

RAW, deveined shrimp - 1 pound

Olive Oil - 3 TBSP

Butter - 3 TBSP (I used margarine)

Garlic - 4 Cloves, minced

Parsley - 1/3 c chopped

Lemon Juice - 1/4 c

Lemon Slices

Lemon Zest

Salt, 1 - 1 1/2 tsp

Black Pepper, 1 tsp

Red Pepper Flakes (if desired, and if you like HEAT!)

Cook linguine noodles according to package; drain and set aside.

These can boil while you prepare and cook the shrimp.

Remove Tails

Chop and Mince 4 garlic cloves

Chop Parsley, set aside 

In heavy bottom pan on medium heat,

add olive oil and butter, melt;

add garlic and saute only about 1 minute

*Don't let garlic brown!*

Add shrimp, salt, black pepper and cook for about 5 minutes

until pink, being sure to turn often for even cooking.

Do Not Drain, the sauce will coat the noodles.

Remove from heat (pour in a BIG bowl)

Add lemon juice, zest, slices, red pepper and parsley.

Stir together well; Add in linguine and toss well.

Delish!

IT'S EVEN BETTER THE NEXT DAY,

if you have any left overs :)

NOTE: we rewarmed in a heavy pan on the stove top 

Happy Cooking, Y'all!
