Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Linguine pasta
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, along with the cooked linguine, and toss to coat everything in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Stir in the lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley for freshness.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
