Shrimp Scampi Linguine Recipe

The long awaited food post! =P i'm sooo sorry I haven't post about this till now, anddd I forgot to take pictures of the nice little setting I did for our dinner (I was busy eating it all hahaha) =P

shrimp scampi linguine (recipe) ( i changed the recipe a bit, my changes are below)

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp (raw; 20 to 25 per lb)
3 large garlic cloves, left unpeeled and forced through a garlic press
pinch of dried hot red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 pinches of salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons salted european butter
3/4 lb linguine
2 pinches of dried parsley flakes
1 large portabella mushroom

Preparation

Bring a 6- to 8-quart pot of salted water (this makes the temperature hotter) to a boil.

1) instead of pressing the garlic through a press i chopped it really finely

2) marinate shrimp in the olive oil (this makes the shrimp more tender), salt, pepper flakes, wine, and chopped garlic for at least one hour ( i left it overnight)


2) heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté shrimp (that was marinated), turning over once, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes, and add butter and mushrooms to skillet, stirring until melted.

3) Cook pasta in boiling water until just tender, about 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander. Toss pasta well with shrimp mixture and parsley in large bowl, adding some of reserved cooking water if necessary to keep moist.
