  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces dried spaghetti or linguine
  • 1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice and zest from one lemon
  • 1 cup low-moisture mozzarella, shredded
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in well-salted boiling water until just shy of al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sear seasoned shrimp until opaque and golden, then remove from the pan.

  4. Combine drained pasta with the sauce and shrimp; fold in half of the cheeses.
  5. Transfer to a greased baking dish, top with remaining cheese, and bake at 375°F for 15 minutes until golden.
