Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 pound linguine
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 anchovy fillets
  • 3 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deviened
  • 2 tsp salt, divided
  • few grinds freshly black pepper, plus more
  • 1 pint of grape tomatoes, halved
  • juice of half a lemon
  • ½ cup of white wine (whatever you will drink)
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta about 1 minute less that the directions suggest.
  2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, once hot add the anchovies, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Saute for about 2 minutes or until the anchovies start to melt in the oil. Add the shrimp in an even layer and season with 1 tsp of the salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes and then flip over and cook for an additional 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and stir. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the tomatoes start to wilt and give up their juices. Add the lemon juice and wine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Reserve  1/2 cup of the pasta's cooking water. Drain the pasta and toss in with shrimp and tomatoes. Toss well to coat the pasta in the sauce. Add about ¼ cup of the cooking water and toss well. Sprinkle with parsley and the remaining 1 tsp of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Toss again. Serve hot.
