Restaurant-Worthy Yet Ridiculously Easy
This recipe is BOTH a quick weeknight meal and something that you might feel like you’d order at a restaurant. That’s a one-two punch, friends. It’s my favorite thing ever.
Tender linguine noodles cook up in a pot of hot broth for a really extra yummy flavor, and then they get tossed with a generous handful of Parmesan, parsley, and shrimp that has been sautéed in a garlic butter sage white wine bath of delicious.
You heard me.
You’re tossing the shrimp with the noodles, herbs, and cheese, and pouring a bit of cream over the whole thing to make it almost resemble an Alfredo, except more delicately light and creamy in a way that lets all of the cheese, herbs, garlic, and white wine shine through in each bite.
You guys. Not to be dramatic or anything but I’m seriously NEEDING this right now all over again.
Here’s what you’re going to do right now. You’re going to put in a grocery order for this recipe, and then post-work, you’re going to get in the kitchen, grab a glass of wine, and smell all the smells while this cooks away. Right? Best idea ever for a Monday?
Common Questions About This Shrimp Linguine
Could I omit the cream in this recipe? This recipe is really best with the cream in there to get the right texture and consistency. If you wanted a lighter option, you could swap the cream for half and half if you’d prefer.
I have a lot of extra liquid left in my pot after cooking the pasta. What do I do with it? You can lower the heat on the stove to a simmer until the liquid reduces, but that will continue to cook the pasta more. Otherwise, you could just drain the liquid off.
Can I use any kind of wine here? Yes! We just recommend a dry white wine.
