Shrimp Scampi Pasta

You can make the sauce while the water boils and the pasta cooks. We like a pinch of red pepper flakes on the adult portions -- it really ramps up the flavor.

Time: 20 minutes

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 can (14 ounces) chicken broth, divided
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 12 ounces linguine, cooked according to package directions
• Red pepper flakes (optional)

1. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cover and cook until soft, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
2. Pour 1 cup broth and the flour into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake to blend. Pour remaining broth and broth-flour mixture into saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp, and cook 3 minutes more. Stir in lemon juice, butter, and parsley. Pour over cooked pasta. Makes 4 servings.
