2 tablespoons olive oil

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined

6 garlic cloves minced

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1 lb linguine pasta

1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Begin by adding 1 pound of linguine pasta to a pot of salted boiling water. Cook al dente.

In the meantime, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter to a large pan. Bring the heat to medium-high.

Once you hear the butter sizzle, add 6 finely minced garlic cloves. Quickly stir for about 10-15 seconds.

Pick the heat up to high and add 2 pounds of large raw shrimp that have been peeled and deveined.

Mix the shrimp around for about 5-6 minutes or until they are fully cooked through. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.

Then pour in 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice. Stir for about 1 minute.

Drain your cooked pasta and add it to the pan. Turn the heat off and add 1/4 cup of freshly chopped parsley on top.
