Linguine with Shrimp and Lemon Oil

I absolutely love Giada's recipe for Linguine with Shrimp and Lemon Oil.  This is a great weeknight meal for me because it is quick to prepare and I almost always have the ingredients on hand.  Frozen shrimp, garlic, shallots, lemons, linguine, and olive oil are basic pantry items in most homes.  I am a huge fan of arugula and generally keep a small tub of the Earthbound Farms or Olivia's Organics in the fridge. 

I follow Giada's recipe except that I leave the lemon zest in the lemon oil instead of straining it out.  I omit the lemon zest in the pasta step since I leave it in the lemon oil.  Make sure to use a good quality olive oil.  I used Frantoia and it was fabulous.  Trust me this is delicious!

  3. I love this dish - and it is perfect for summer. I like having he zest stay in - good call. And arugula is always at hand. Thank you Earthbound Farms (it only recently has caught on in MN - I had to grow my own!)
