Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces bucatini noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
6 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
6 tablespoons salted butter, cut into pieces
1 pound large shrimp (16-20 count), peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the bucatini and cook according to package directions for al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir to combine.
