Healthy Shrimp Linguine


Ingredients
  • 1/2 box of whole wheat linguine
  • 30 small shrimps, peeled, deveined, tails removed
  • 4 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1/2 cup of sherry cooking wine
  • Juice of 1 large lemon
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1-2 pinches of red pepper flakes
  • Parmesan cheese
Directions

1. Put a large pot of water on stovetop to boil. Once water starts to boil, salt the water (about 1 pinch of salt), and then add the pasta. Turn heat down to medium-high. Cook for about 7-10 minutes.

2. While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet to medium heat and add butter. Once the butter is melted, add the olive oil and minced garlic and stir (make sure the garlic does not burn-if it starts browning, turn down the heat).

3. Next season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add the shrimp to the garlic and olive oil. Cook shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side. Once the shrimp is cooked (should turn pink), remove shrimp from olive oil and garlic and place in a small bowl to the side.

4. Add sherry cooking wine to garlic and olive oil and bring to a boil. Once it starts to bubble, turn the heat down to low (simmer). Add the juice of one lemon and the red pepper flakes and stir the sauce with a whisk.

5. Add the shrimp back into the sauce. Lastly, add the cooked linguine to the sauce and toss all of the ingredients together. Top with parmesan cheese! Enjoy!!
