Directions

Combine ½ cup olive oil and zest of one lemon in a small bowl and set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to instructions. Drain pasta and reserve one cup of the pasta liquid. In a heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat.

Add the shallots and garlic, cooking for 2 minutes. Add thawed shrimp and cook for a minute or two. Next, add cooked linguine, lemon juice, the zest of one lemon, and salt and pepper. Toss this together. Strain the lemon zest from the reserved lemon olive oil mixture and add olive oil to the pasta. You can add some of the reserved pasta liquid at this time as well if necessary. Toss together and garnish with parsley. Enjoy!

Tip: You can use raw shrimp instead and cook for 5 minutes until it turns pink.
