   While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and chili pepper (if using) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

3. 3

   Add the shrimp and sauté for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are pink and just cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Remove the pan from heat. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, white wine, and butter. Stir well until the butter is melted and a light sauce forms.

5. 5

   Add the drained linguine directly to the pan with the shrimp sauce. Add some of the reserved cooking water to emulsify the sauce and coat the pasta.

6. 6

   Mix everything well until the linguine are evenly coated with the sauce. If needed, add more cooking water to achieve the desired consistency.
