Serving

1 lb linguine
4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, finely diced
5 garlic cloves, sliced thin
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
20 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail on
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 cups grape tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup basil pesto

For the pasta, bring a large pot of water to boil. When it comes to a boil add a couple tablespoons salt and the linguini. Stir to separate pasta, cover & cook 6-8 minutes or until not quite done. Drain the pasta & reserve about a cup of the liquid.
If using frozen shrimp, defrost them in a strainer under cold running water.

Saute the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes until the shallots are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt & pepper; add them to the pan and cook til they have heated through (or turned pink), about 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep watm. Add the wine, pesto and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the linguini & reserved pasta water. Toss well and season with salt and pepper . Top with lemon zest and serve immediately.
