Creamy garlic shrimp pasta with bell peppers and a kick of crushed red pepper, tossed with linguine.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 0.5 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 48 large shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine (such as Chardonnay)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 0.25 cup clam juice
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
  • Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a vigorous boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente, about 11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain linguine in a colander.
  • Combine butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté red and yellow bell peppers with garlic until softened, about 10 minutes. Add shrimp and cook until opaque and pink, about 5 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a bowl and keep the peppers and garlic in the skillet.
  • Combine wine, lemon juice, and clam juice in the skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, then return the shrimp to the skillet. Stir in reserved pasta cooking water, cream, red pepper flakes, parsley, and sea salt. Add the cooked linguine, toss lightly with the shrimp and sauce, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes for the pasta to absorb the flavors. Serve hot.
