Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
1-1/2 pounds linguine
5 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
6 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 Tbsp minced fresh garlic (about 8 or 9 cloves)
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 tsp hot red pepper flakes
1/4 C fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 C freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 C freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Bring to a boil a large pot of water seasoned with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, add the linguine, and cook until al dente, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain, run under cool water, drain again, place the linguine back in the pot and toss 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside, keeping warm. Melt the butter with the remaining olive oil in a 10" to 13" well seasoned cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 3 minutes, being careful not to burn. Add the shrimp, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and the pepper; sauté until the shrimp begin to turn pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and toss with red pepper flakes, parsley, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Pour the shrimp mixture over the cooked linguine, tossing to combine, and serve immediately.
