shrimp linguine recipe

A flavorful shrimp linguine recipe featuring tender shrimp tossed in a garlic, white wine, and lemon sauce served over perfectly cooked linguine pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz linguine pasta
  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  4. Pour white wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping any browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter until melted and combined.
  6. Return shrimp to the skillet and toss with the sauce. Add reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
  7. Add cooked linguine and chopped parsley, tossing gently to combine and heat through.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan if desired.

Notes

For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream when stirring in the butter or serve with a side of garlic bread for a complete meal.
