Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add your linguine or spaghetti. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound of large shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until shrimp turns pink and opaque, then remove from skillet.
- Pour 1/2 cup of white wine or chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the lemon zest and juice along with 1 cup of heavy cream. Simmer gently, stirring frequently until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, season with salt and pepper. Ensure all pasta is well coated.
- Transfer pasta mixture to a greased baking dish. Nestle sautéed shrimp on top.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly, with a golden brown top.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes
Perfectly cooked shrimp should be pink and opaque. Stir cream into sauce to prevent curdling. Let wine simmer to cook off alcohol. Distribute cheese evenly for a melty topping. Use a heat-distributing baking dish for best results.
