Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 oz linguine pasta
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the heavy cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Toss the cooked linguine into the skillet with the shrimp and sauce, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Shrimp Elegante!
