Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • ¼ cup salted butter

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 (8 ounce) package linguine pasta

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

  1. Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl; set aside. Bring chicken broth, wine, butter, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add cornstarch mixture, 1 teaspoon at a time, until sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

  2. Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in linguine and return to a boil. Cook linguine uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and keep warm.

  3. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Dredge shrimp in flour; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Place, unstacked, onto a plate.

  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry shrimp, working in batches if needed, in hot oil until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  5. Add cooked shrimp to finished sauce. Divide linguine among plates; top with shrimp and sauce.
