Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the scampi ingredients
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil for the linguine.
- Cut the tomatoes in half.
- Juice the lemon. [Juice both lemons.]
2
Cook the linguine
Add the linguine to the boiling water and cook until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain the linguine.
While the linguine cooks, cook your protein.
3
Cook your protein
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking.
For shrimp and jumbo shrimp:
- Rinse and drain the shrimp. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add the shrimp to the pan and cook, turning once, until firm and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side for regular shrimp, 2 to 3 minutes per side for jumbo shrimp. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
For chicken:
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Do not clean the pan.

Finish the scampi
In the same pan used for your protein, stir in the tomatoes and confit and cook over medium heat until the confit is melted and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the sherry cooking wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until fragrant and starting to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in half the lemon juice and half the lemon-garlic herb butter, adding more lemon juice and herb butter as desired. Add the shrimp or chicken, arugula, linguine, as many chile flakes as you like and toss until the ingredients are combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the scampi to individual bowls and serve.
