A quick and easy shrimp linguine infused with white wine, garlic, and fresh herbs, perfect for a comforting yet elegant dinner that brings coastal flavors to your table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces linguine pasta
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 small shallots, finely chopped
  • ½ cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 ounces of linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 9-11 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, pat dry 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour in ½ cup dry white wine. Let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about half, around 4-5 minutes.
  5. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque but still tender. Stir gently to coat shrimp in the wine sauce.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, ¼ cup chopped parsley, and ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time if sauce is too thick.
  7. Add cooked linguine directly to the skillet, tossing to combine evenly. Heat for another minute to marry the flavors.
  8. Serve immediately, plating the linguine and shrimp. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired and drizzle with a little olive oil or extra fresh herbs.

Notes

Cook shrimp just until pink and opaque to avoid rubbery texture. Use reserved pasta water to adjust sauce consistency. Fresh herbs like parsley add brightness and balance richness. For gluten-free, substitute linguine with gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles. White wine can be replaced with low-sodium chicken broth and lemon juice for non-alcoholic version.
