Ingredients
•
1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
•
2 tablespoons butter
•
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
•
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
•
1/2 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
•
6 cloves garlic, sliced
•
48 large shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed
•
1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Chardonnay)
•
1/4 cup clam juice
•
1 teaspoon lemon juice
•
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
•
2 tablespoons heavy cream
•
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
•
1 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain linguine well in a colander set in the sink.
2
Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers and garlic; cook and stir until peppers have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in shrimp; cook and stir until shrimp are opaque and pink, about 5 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a bowl and set aside, leaving peppers and garlic in the skillet.
3
Stir wine, clam juice, and lemon juice into the skillet; bring to a boil over medium heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remaining 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil; return shrimp to the skillet. Stir in reserved 1 cup pasta water, parsley, cream, pepper flakes, and salt. Add cooked linguine; toss lightly to coat. Simmer scampi over medium-low heat to let linguine absorb some sauce, about 5 minutes; serve hot.
