Sauvignon Blanc Seafood Linguine with Lemon & Herbs
Ingredients:
- 12 oz (340g) linguine or spaghetti
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 lb (450g) mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, mussels, or your favorite)
- 1 cup Sauvignon Blanc
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
Boil the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Sauté Aromatics:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Cook the Seafood:
Add the seafood to the skillet, cooking until just opaque and tender (3–5 minutes). Remove the seafood and set aside.
- Create the Sauce:
Pour the Sauvignon Blanc into the skillet, deglazing the pan by scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, reducing slightly. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, butter, and reserved pasta water. Stir until combined.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce:
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce. Return the seafood to the skillet and gently mix in the parsley and basil.
Season and Serve:
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with more herbs and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
