Step 1
Boil salted water in a large pot. Add linguine and cook until al dente, ~9 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 3
Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sear 90 seconds without moving until edges turn pink.
Step 4
Flip shrimp and sear another 90 seconds until opaque throughout. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Pour white wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom to release browned bits. Simmer 1 minute.
Step 6
Add cooked linguine and lemon juice to the skillet. Toss, adding pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until silky.
Step 7
Return shrimp to the skillet and toss gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8
Divide between bowls and serve immediately.
