butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

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

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add 12 ounces of large shrimp to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they are pink.

Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside on a plate.

In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, cooking to prevent burning.

Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine (Pinot Grigio) and bring to a simmer.

Add 2 more tablespoons of butter, 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste.

Zest and juice half a lemon into the sauce, stirring well.

Return the shrimp to the pan and let it simmer for a minute or two.

Add in 8 ounces of cooked, rinsed, and drained linguine, tossing to combine.

Optionally, serve with freshly grated parmesan on top.
