Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • ½ (16 ounce) package linguine pasta

  • 4 tablespoons butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 2 tablespoons Pinot Grigio wine

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste

  • ½ cup half-and-half

  • ¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

  2. While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until tails start curling in, about 2 minutes per side. Add remaining butter, Pinot Grigio, lemon juice, half-and-half, and Parmesan cheese. Stir to incorporate.

  3. Drain linguine and divide noodles between 2 bowls. Serve shrimp mixture on top and garnish with parsley.
