Really sorry about these inside pictures, but when its pouring rain outside there is no way to get a clear shot, even with a good light, natural light is always the best...  hope you will forgive these yellow cast pictures...the dish was delicious all the same.  Thanks for reading......






Cook linguine until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. Add 3 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter and parsley. Set aside.



Meanwhile, heat 3 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until pink and curled, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.



Add garlic and the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the pan and cook till golden.

Add wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes.



Add escarole stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender, 3 to 5 minutes.



Whisk clam juice (or water) and cornstarch in a small bowl then add to the pan; simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.



Return the shrimp and any leftover juices to the pan, add lemon juice, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.



Add the linguine and return it to the pot. Add the sauce, toss to coat.
