Instructions

Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Dredge the shrimp in this mixture to coat evenly.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp in a single layer for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes to the same skillet. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and white wine. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss in the sauce.
Add cooked linguine to the pan and toss until everything is well coated.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Use chicken broth and a splash of white wine vinegar if avoiding alcohol.

Swap linguine with spaghetti or angel hair for variation.

Make it creamy with a splash of heavy cream.

Add sautéed spinach or cherry tomatoes for extra veggies.

Use gluten-free pasta and almond flour for a gluten-free version.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently with a splash of broth or water.
