Italian linguine pasta is often prepared with seafood, and it pairs especially well with plump, firm shrimp. Combine cooked pasta with shrimp sautéed with shallots and garlic, lemon juice and zest, fresh arugula, and parsley, and drizzle with fragrant lemon-infused olive oil. To infuse the oil with citrus flavor, steep it in grated lemon zest, then strain. Its flavor perfectly complements the shrimp and adds a refreshing finish to the entire dish.

    Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.

  3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and sauté until pink, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked linguine pasta, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir. Turn off the heat and stir in the arugula. Strain the lemon oil through a sieve and stir it into the pasta. Discard the zest. Add a little of the cooking liquid to thin the sauce to the desired consistency. Add the chopped parsley and stir. Serve immediately.
