Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine or spaghetti until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
- Pour 1/2 cup of white wine or chicken broth into the skillet, simmer for about 2 minutes while scraping the browned bits from the bottom.
- Stir in the juice and zest of 1 lemon and 1 cup of heavy cream. Mix well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the pasta mixture to a baking dish, arranging the cooked shrimp on top.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden crust.
- Let the dish sit for a few minutes, then garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes
Ensure shrimp are pink and opaque for best results. Fresh garlic is recommended. Cook pasta al dente to prevent mushiness in the final dish.
