I got this recipe from Monica on the nest. Chad and I both loved it. I served it with a salad and 'Ricatoni's' bread. I did overcook my shrimp a little though and I probably would add a little more butter next time ;) but overall it was a really great meal.
1 lb Linguini
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. garlic, minced
1/4 cup white wine (I used chicken broth as a substitute)
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Cook linguini to al dente.
Heat oil and butter in a pan. Sautee garlic making sure that it doesn't brown. Add white wine and simmer for about 2 minutes. Place shrimp in sauce and cook until pink, about 5 minutes. Take off heat and add lemon juice and parsley. Mix linguini with shrimp and sauce. Shave some fresh parmesean on top and add a splash of EVOO if desired.
