Ingredients:
- 1 pound linguine noodles (, white or wheat)
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic (, minced)
- 1 pound large shrimp (, about 20 shrimp, peeled and deveined)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper (, to taste)
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley (, chopped)
- lemon zest (, from 1/2 of a large lemon)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (, about 2 lemons)
- 1/2 lemon (, thinly sliced in half-rounds)

Instruction:
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add a little bit of oil and salt to the boiling water and cook the linguine according to package instructions.
- Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Add the butter and olive oil to an extra-large skillet over medium-low. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the shrimp and sauté just until they turn pink, about 4-5 minutes, tossing often.
- Remove from the heat and add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes.
- Toss to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- When the pasta is cooked, drain the water and add the noodles to the sauté pan.
