Scampi of the shrimp type

So it was a slow cooking weekend (aka out and about between Matt and I's families) but I'm keeping up with posting so here is my top shrimp scampi recipe choice

Ingredients

1 lb shrimp (I use the cheap precooked, deveined, and frozen ones)

1 lemon 

1 shallot finely chopped

1 lb linguini (can vary from .25 lb to 1 lb)

3-4 cloves garlic minced (see how this is a recurring ingredient)

1/2 cup white cooking wine

1/4 water 

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

Optional 

2 teaspoons crushed red pepper (some nice spice)

Heat pasta water with some salt (neutralizes some of the starchy taste of the pasta) until boiling. Then cook for linguini for about 8 minutes (yes undercooked)

While pasta is cooking, heat large deep skillet with oil to a little over medium heat, add shallots and garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes or until shallots are clear-ish. Then add the shrimp and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes. Remove shrimp mixture from heat and add lemon juice and cooking wine to skillet and heat until boiling, then add everything together (pasta too) and mix thoroughly! Simmer for 5-6 minutes and enjoy.
