Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g shrimp, tails removed and deveined
  • 100 g unsalted butter
  • 30 ml olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 30 ml gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 15 ml Laoganma chili crisp
  • 15 g fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 120 ml dry white wine
  • 450 g linguine or spaghetti, cooked

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is fully melted.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Incorporate gochujang and chili crisp, stirring to combine. Pour in white wine and simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  4. Add shrimp to the pan, cooking until they turn pink and curl into a 'C' shape, ensuring even color all over.
