Shrimp Scampi & Linguine | Byron Talbott

Hey what's up guys welcome back to my channel. Today I'm going to show you how to make a delicious and flavor-packed shrimp scampi and linguine pasta. So first up get a pot of boiling water going and add a decent pinch of salt to it. Then you're going to cook your pasta for approximately two minutes or so or until it's al dente. Then you're going to strain it and coat it with a good amount of olive oil so that the noodles don't stick. If you're wondering how to make fresh pasta click on the link at the bottom right of this video and I have a wonderful and easy to follow recipe showing you how to make pasta from scratch. Next up get a medium saute pan on medium to high heat add some olive oil and then you're going to start searing off your shrimp for about 30 seconds or so or until they just start to turn pink. Once they're nice and seared off you're going to add some chopped up garlic followed by some chili flakes and then a few pads of butter and then you're going to cook this for another 30 seconds or so or until all those beautiful flavors start to meld. Then you're going to deglaze this pan with some white wine followed by a good shaving of some parmesan cheese the zest of a lemon and the juice of a lemon. Alright so I've let the sauce cook for about two to three minutes on high heat and it's reduced at least by half and it has a beautiful thick consistency to it. I'm going to add some chopped up parsley then my cooked pasta give it a few flips just to generously coat that pasta in this beautifully rich sauce and then it's time to plate this up. So what I recommend when plating this dish is trying to get as much height out of the pasta as you can that really adds a nice dynamic and presentation to this dish and next when you plate your shrimp just sort of evenly place them around the pasta and you're going to finish this off with a few parsley leaves just to give it a nice pop of green and then top everything off with some more of that wonderful sauce and then all there is to do is enjoy this wonderful shrimp scampi and linguine pasta. Well there you guys have it shrimp scampi looks pretty fantastic you can smell the wine in the air nice garlic a little bit of chili flakes parsley on top this is a really good looking dish and I'm really excited to try it so let me test this out all right a little bit of shrimp a little bit of the sauce you have the rich parmesan cheese that has its own sort of unique flavor the butter the lemon and the white wine all sort of balance each other and then about two bites in the chili flakes start to kick in start to get a little spicy just delicious it's just a really elegant meal to have for dinner it's just you have nice delicate shrimp the especially you make the pasta homemade that's a nice little touch and then this white wine you know just really acidic and rich sauce at the same time it's just a wonderful pairing delicious well hope you guys enjoyed my take on shrimp scampi with some pasta as always I'll have it on my website byrontalva.com full recipe breakdown if you guys did enjoy the video thumbs up and subscribe comment below for future video requests and things you want to see on my channel and I'll see you next time with another delicious recipe bye everybody
