Allergens
Shellfish (shrimp), Gluten (linguine)
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the linguine, and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden, about 1 2 minutes. Add the shrimp to the skillet with the garlic and cook until pink and opaque, approximately 3 4 minutes per side. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from skillet and set aside. To the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Once fully melted, whisk in the white wine (if using) and allow to simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, mixing well until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the cooked shrimp and adjust seasoning if necessary. Combine the garlic Parmesan sauce with the cooked linguine and toss until evenly coated.
Chef’s Insight
To ensure al dente pasta, check for doneness one minute before the package instructions indicate it should be done.
Notes
