Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until they just turn pink. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  5. 5

    Pour wine, chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

  6. 6

    Toss the cooked pasta and prepared shrimp into the skillet with the sauce. Add parsley and toss to combine.

  7. 7

    Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top.

  8. 8

    Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Broil for 2-3 minutes if you want the top golden brown.

  9. 9

    Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
