2 tbsp olive oil

4 tbsp butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat.

Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Deglaze the pan with white wine and add the remaining butter. Let simmer until the sauce has reduced by half.

Return the shrimp to the skillet, add the cooked linguine, lemon juice, parsley, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the garlic butter sauce.
