Simple Shrimp Scampi Recipe

Boil water and cook linguini pasta until al dente, about 8 minutes.

In a pan, heat 1-2 tablespoons of cactus oil over medium-high heat.

Add shrimp to the pan and cook until pink and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Lower heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter and another tablespoon of cactus oil to the pan.

Add minced garlic and cook for about a minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Pour in chicken broth instead of white wine and add red pepper flakes to taste.

Cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Add the cooked shrimp back into the sauce.

Mix in the cooked linguini and add reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

Finish with lemon juice, parsley, and parmesan cheese.
