Steps

Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi
- Pat 1½ pounds of shrimp dry with paper towels, then season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. 3 min
- Thinly slice 6 garlic cloves, juice 1 lemon, and roughly chop ¼ cup flat-leaf parsley; set each aside separately. 5 min
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high until the butter foams and subsides. 2 min
- Timing-sensitive step. Add the shrimp in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 90 seconds, then flip and cook another 60–90 seconds until just pink and curled; transfer to a plate. 3 min
- Timing-sensitive step. Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet, then add the sliced garlic and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and just golden. 2 min
- Pour in ½ cup dry white wine and the juice of 1 lemon, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce reduces by about half. 3 min
- Timing-sensitive step. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the skillet, toss to coat in the sauce, and cook 30 seconds just to rewarm.
- Remove from heat, scatter the chopped parsley over the top, and serve immediately with lemon wedges alongside.
Angel Hair Pastabase
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, then add 1 tablespoon kosher salt. 8 min
- Timing-sensitive step. Add 12 ounces angel hair pasta and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until just al dente — angel hair overcooks quickly so pull it 30 seconds early. 3 min
- Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining, then drain the pasta and toss immediately with 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking. 2 min
Simple Arugula Salad with Lemon Vinaigretteside
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until emulsified. 3 min
- Place 4 ounces baby arugula in a large bowl, drizzle with the vinaigrette, and toss gently to coat. 2 min
- Top with 1 ounce shaved Parmesan and serve immediately.
