Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (or plant-based butter)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup dry white grape juice or chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 ounces linguine or spaghetti
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until pink.
  3. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside. Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in either the grape juice or chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom. Allow it to simmer for about 3-5 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Return shrimp to the skillet along with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Toss cooked pasta into the skillet, allowing it to soak up the sauce. Garnish with parsley before serving.
