"This can't be any easier! I do add more garlic, capers, white wine and double the sauce because we like sauce. Show: Barefoot Contessa Episode: Pasta Bella"

ingredients

vegetable oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons kosher salt
³⁄₄ lb linguine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons olive oil
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 16 shrimp)
¹⁄₄ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
¹⁄₃ cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
¹⁄₂ lemon, zest grated
¹⁄₄ cup fresh lemon juice (2 lemons)
¹⁄₄ lemon, thinly sliced in half-rounds
¹⁄₈ teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

directions

Drizzle some oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the linguine, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or according to the directions on the package.
Meanwhile, in another large (12-inch), heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Be careful, the garlic burns easily!
Add the shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often.
Remove from the heat, add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.
When the pasta is done, drain the cooked linguine and then put it back in the pot.
Immediately add the shrimp and sauce, toss well, and serve.

I am a teacher who is near the end of my career. I have many craft interests and have just added cooking to my list. Since I like to keep a check on what DH eats I usually try to follow the WW diet and just love their cookbooks. Recipezaar has become the answer to my many cookbooks and recipes I gather and just can't seem to get organized. MMMMM maybe in retirement. <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg">
