# Directions:
01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain the rest.
02 - Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
03 - In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes if using, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
04 - Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until just opaque and pink. Remove shrimp to a plate and set aside.
05 - Pour the wine and lemon juice into the skillet. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits. Let cook for 2 to 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
06 - Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the sauce. Stir until melted and combined.
07 - Return the cooked shrimp with any accumulated juices to the skillet. Add lemon zest and half the parsley. Toss to coat evenly.
08 - Add the drained linguine and toss well to combine, adding reserved pasta water a splash at a time if needed for a silky sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
09 - Divide onto serving plates immediately, garnished with remaining parsley and lemon wedges.
