Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine pasta
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, but not browned.
Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce by half.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss them gently to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes to heat through.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water (start with 1/4 cup and add more if needed). Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated in the sauce.
Stir in the chopped parsley and basil, reserving a bit of each for garnish.
Serve the shrimp linguine immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of the reserved herbs.
