1

Assemble all ingredients.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; cook the linguine in the boiling water until nearly tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain.
3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
4

Cook and stir the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes in the hot butter and oil until the shallots turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
5

Season the shrimp with kosher salt and black pepper; add them to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and keep warm.
6

Pour in the white wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet, stir 2 tablespoons olive oil into the butter mixture, and bring to a simmer.
