Shrimp Scampi with Linguine
Whatever shrimp you prefer, make sure they are deveined, peeled, and tail is off. Soak the shrimp in salted water for about a half hour.Meanwhile, get your pasta water ready.While you're waiting for the water to boil, start mincing 6 cloves of garlic, and a handfull of fresh Italian parsley (there is really no substitution for this in this dish, the flavor just pops with the fresh stuff). Drain the shrimp and season with the garlic, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning.Boil the pasta till a little bit more than al dente.While the pasta is cooking, saute the shrimp for a few minutes on each side and then set aside. Don't over cook, or they get chewy.Drain the pasta, and put it back into the pot. Spoon the shrimp into the pot, and add 1/2 stick of butter and drizzle olive oil until the pasta isn't sticky anymore. Add more fresh black pepper, some more salt, and the chopped parsley. Stir together and serve.
