Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined*
- 12 ounces Linguine Pasta*
- 4 Cloves Garlic minced
- ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ cup Dry White Wine
- ¼ cup Fresh Parsley chopped
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Chili Flakes optional, for serving
- Parmesan Cheese freshly grated, optional, for serving
Instructions
- Cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. If you're cooking them all at once, be sure to keep stirring.
- Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to reduce slightly.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the chopped parsley. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce that coats the pasta.
- Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Serve the shrimp garlic pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
You can choose the size of shrimp you prefer, but medium to large shrimp work well for this recipe.
You can use a different kind of pasta if you prefer, such as spaghetti or fettuccine.
