Lemon Shrimp Linguine
This pasta dish has been in my back pocket of recipes for over a decade. I can cook it on a weeknight, weekend, serve to house guests or catered events. It’s easy, quick, delicious!
The sauce is basically olive oil, flavoured with ouzo, wine, garlic, lemon juice and lemon zest, chilli flakes, parsley and thickened with pasta water (old school Italian hack). It’s one of those sauces that comes together in the time it takes to cook the pasta.
So open a bottle of wine, prep the ingredients and enjoy this fresh bowl of shrimp and pasta.

-
1lb. of shrimp, peeled and deveined
-
1/4 cup Ouzo
-
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
-
4 cloves of garlic, smashed
-
1/4 cup dry white wine
-
approx. 200gr. of dry linguine (or spaghetti)
-
sea salt to taste
-
zest and juice of 1 lemon
-
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
-
1 tsp. chilli flakes
-
4 Tbsp. unsalted cold butter (or olive oil) to finish
- Pat your shrimp dry with paper towel. Season with salt and toss. Place a pot of water on your stovetop, cover and bring to a boil. Add a good amount of salt and your pasta. Cool for about 7 minutes, strain but reserve a cup of pasta water.
- Place a large skillet on your stovetop over high heat. Add a a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, add your shrimp and saute until just pink on both sides. Add the ouzo into the pan and flambe. Once all the alcohol has burned off, remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and reserve.
- Turn the heat down to medium and the remaining olive oil and cook the garlic for a minute. Add the wine, lemon juice and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
- Add the pasta into the sauce plus 1/2 cup of pasta water and continue to simmer. Add more pasta water if needed.
- Add shrimp, lemon zest, parsley, chilli flakes and toss to warm/finish cooking shrimp for a couple of minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning (add salt) if needed. Add cold or more olive oil, toss in and take off heat.
- Plate pasta and top each portion with shrimp and serve.
