Ingredients
linguine
1 lb (uncooked)
extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons (divided)
unsalted butter
4 tablespoons (divided)
garlic cloves
3 large (chopped)
shallot
1/3 cup (chopped)
small shrimp
1 (12 ounce) package (peeled & deveined)

1/2 cup
fresh orange
1 large (juiced & zest of half)
fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon

1/3 cup (chiffonade)
Instructions
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
2
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted and bubbling, add the chopped garlic and sauté until lightly browned, which takes about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped shallots and cook until they are soft and translucent, about another minute.
3
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet, seasoning them generously with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. Sauté until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside while keeping the skillet on the heat.
4
Pour in the white wine, freshly squeezed orange juice, and orange zest. Add the fresh thyme leaves and use a wooden spoon to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 1 minute.
5
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, the additional 3 tablespoons of butter, and the chiffonade of fresh basil. Mix thoroughly until combined and heated through. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
6
Serve over the linguine, garnishing with additional fresh basil if desired, and enjoy your culinary masterpiece!
