Instructions

Boil the pasta: In a large pot, bring water to a boil, add salt, and cook the linguine until al dente (about 11 minutes). Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
Sauté the shrimp: Pat dry the shrimp, season with salt, and heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp until pink and opaque (about 3 minutes total). Remove from skillet.
Create the sauce: In the same skillet, combine tomatoes, garlic, and butter. Stir in crushed red pepper; then add reserved pasta water and lemon juice until saucy.
Combine: Return shrimp to the skillet, stir to coat in sauce, then pour everything over the drained pasta. Toss gently and garnish with parsley and cheese if desired.
