butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add linguine to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

Drain the linguine and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted.

Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add shrimp to the skillet; cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Pour in white wine and lemon juice; simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Add the drained linguine to the skillet; toss to combine with the shrimp and sauce.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Stir in chopped parsley just before serving.
