Ingredients
- 1 pound uncooked linguine
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoons white wine
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine for about 11 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the pasta, ensuring it remains tender with a slight firmness.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the wine, garlic, Parmesan, and parsley, seasoning with salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the flavors meld.
- Raise the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the saucepan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the shrimp start turning pink, being careful not to overcook them.
- Portion the pasta into 8 bowls and top with the shrimp and sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan and a garnish of fresh parsley.
