Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and halved lengthwise
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (8-ounce) bottle clam broth
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Table salt
1 pound linguine
3 tablespoons drained small capers
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Ground black pepper

Steps:

1. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in pot for cooking pasta. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, until just opaque, about 1 minute. Transfer to large plate. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in empty skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and pepper flakes and cook until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds. Add wine, increase heat to high, and simmer until liquid is reduced and syrupy, about 2 minutes. Add clam broth and lemon juice, bring to boil, and cook until mixture is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 8 minutes. 2. As the sauce cooks, add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta to boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserving 1/2 cup cooking water, drain pasta, then transfer to large serving bowl. Toss with sauce, shrimp, capers, parsley, and butter until butter melts and shrimp is warmed through. (Add reserved cooking water if sauce seems dry.) Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Serve.
