Shrimp Scampi instructions

1. In a pot bring water (enough to cook pasta) to boil. Season the water generously with salt. Throw in the linguine and cook as per package instruction. I always cook for 1-2 minutes less than instructed as the pasta continues to cook once the sauce is added. Drain and keep aside..
2. In a separate pan, melt the butter on medium heat and fry the garlic till fragrant. Add the shrimps and cook till they turn pink. Be careful not to overcook..
3. Now carefully take the shrimp out and set aside. To the same pan - there should be plenty butter left - add the lemon zest, lemon juice, chili flakes and chopped cilantro and stir well to incorporate..
4. Add the wine (or chicken stock) and cook till it reduces a bit. Now add the shrimps back. Give it a quick stir. Pour the sauce over the linguine and toss. Serve warm..
