(118)

I've been buying a well-known frozen dinner bag that's absolutely fantastic, but rather expensive. So I checked the ingredients, searched scampi recipes online, and created my scrumptious shrimp scampi linguine by adding, subtracting, and tweaking them. This is my first!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ cup chopped red bell pepper

  • ½ cup chopped yellow bell pepper

  • 6 cloves garlic, sliced

  • 48 large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed

  • ½ cup dry white wine (such as Chardonnay)

  • ¼ cup clam juice

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

  • 1 ½ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain linguine well in a colander set in the sink.

  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers and garlic; cook and stir until peppers have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in shrimp; cook and stir until shrimp are opaque and pink, about 5 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a bowl and set aside, leaving peppers and garlic in the skillet.

  3. Stir wine, clam juice, and lemon juice into the skillet; bring to a boil over medium heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil; return shrimp to the skillet. Stir in reserved 1 cup pasta water, parsley, cream, red pepper flakes, and sea salt. Add cooked linguine; toss lightly to coat. Simmer scampi over medium-low heat to let linguine absorb some sauce, about 5 minutes; serve hot.
