Steps

Boil the linguine until al dente and save a cup of the water.
Sear the seasoned shrimp in the oil over high heat, about 1 minute per side, then remove.
Lower the heat, cook the garlic and chili 1 minute, add the wine, and reduce by half.
Toss in the pasta, butter, lemon juice, and a splash of pasta water until glossy, then return the shrimp and parsley.

Shrimp go rubbery fast — pull them the moment they curl.

Swaps

Swap the wine for stock plus an extra squeeze of lemon.

Food safety Cook shrimp until opaque throughout, 63°C / 145°F.
