Vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon kosher salt
1 Pound linguine
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter

1 1/2 Tablespoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
1 Pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 lemon, zest grated
2 lemons, freshly squeezed
1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

Boil water in large pan. Add 1 Tablespoon of salt and the linguine. Cook al dente, usually about 8 minutes, according to the package directions.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Sauté for 1 minute. Be careful, garlic burns easily.

When the linguine is cooked add it to the shrimp sauce in skillet. Toss well, and serve.
