Shrimp Scampi With Pasta + Arugula Recipe

Step 1

Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 4

Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and lemon juice. Simmer for another 2 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced and the flavors are combined.

Step 5

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it in the sauce. Stir in the fresh arugula and let it wilt slightly.

Step 6

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
