Shrimp scampi linguine combines classic shrimp scampi with linguine pasta. The shrimp and sauce are tossed with the noodles and parsley and then served. The sauce is a combination of butter, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. A little spice is added to this dish from crushed red pepper flakes. You can use whatever size shrimps you want for this recipe but I would recommend at least medium; I used extra-large shrimps. You will also want the shrimp to be peeled and deveined to save some time. You can serve this recipe with garlic bread. Enjoy.
