Chef's Note

For the best flavor, make sure not to overcook the shrimp as they can become tough. Adding them back at the end ensures they stay tender. You can customize this dish by using different vegetables like asparagus or peas in place of or in addition to the broccoli depending on what's in season.

Ingredients

  • 16 oz linguine pasta

  • 1.5 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 3 cups broccoli florets

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

  • 1 whole lemon, juiced and zested

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
  • 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add 16 oz of linguine pasta and cook for 2 minutes less than package directions (it will finish cooking in the sauce). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

  • 2

    While pasta is cooking, rinse and pat dry 1.5 lbs of shrimp. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

  • 3

    In the same pot (now empty), heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.

  • 4

    Reduce heat to medium and add 4 tbsp butter to the pot. Once melted, add 6 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  • 5

    Add 3 cups of broccoli florets to the pot and sauté for 2 minutes.

  • 6

    Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer.

  • 7

    Return the partially cooked pasta to the pot. Stir occasionally and cook for about 3-4 minutes until pasta is al dente and liquid is reduced by half.

  • 8

    Add the cooked shrimp back to the pot along with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently to combine. If sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

  • 9

    Season with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, adjusting to taste.

  • 10

    Remove from heat and garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley before serving.
