Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package directions. Set aside 1 cup of water and discard the rest.
  2. Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet and cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.

  3. Return the shrimp and any juices from the plate to the skillet along with the linguine, butter, and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Continue cooking, stirring, until the butter has melted and the shrimp are heated through, about 2 minutes, adding more of the reserved pasta water as needed. Season with salt and parsley to taste. Serve with lemon wedges.
