Preparation

Step 1

To make the pasta:
Boil linguine in a large pot of salted water according to package directions; drain and set aside.

Melt butter with oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add shallots and anchovies and cook until shallots are soft and anchovies melt, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice, zest, Worcestershire, and pepper flakes. Toss linguine with sauce to coat.

Off heat, toss romaine and Parmesan with pasta and season with salt and black pepper. Serve pasta with Grilled Shrimp and Crouton Skewers.

For the skewers:
Preheat grill to medium. Brush grill grate with oil.

Whisk together 1/2 cup oil, zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.

Alternatively thread shrimp and bread cubes onto eight metal skewers, then brush with lemon oil.

Grill skewers, covered, 2-3 minutes per side. Serve with Caesar Salad Pasta.
