Calories 250kcal
Equipment
- 1 Lodge Cast Iron Skillet
- 1 Bamboo Wooden Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 lb Fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and cleaned
- 8 ounces Linguine noodles
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup Fresh chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ tsp Himalayan salt
- ¼ tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Start by cooking the linguine noodles according to the package instructions. Make sure to cook them al dente, as they will continue to cook slightly in the sauce later on. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the shrimp is cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add the cooked linguine noodles, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the garlic-infused oil.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and gently toss them with the noodles until everything is well combined.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Garlic Shrimp Linguine immediately. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.
Notes
Tips for Cooking Perfect Garlic Shrimp Linguine
To ensure that your Garlic Shrimp Linguine turns out perfectly every time, here are some helpful tips:- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, make sure to properly thaw them before cooking.
- Do not overcook the shrimp as they can become rubbery. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque.
- Sauté the garlic over medium heat to prevent it from burning. Burnt garlic can give a bitter taste to the dish.
- Cook the linguine noodles al dente. They will continue to cook slightly in the sauce, so slightly undercooking them will prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Toss the noodles with the garlic-infused oil immediately after cooking to prevent them from sticking together.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, parsley, and lemon juice according to your personal preference. You can add more or less of these ingredients to suit your taste.
- Serve the Garlic Shrimp Linguine immediately after cooking to enjoy it at its best. The flavors and textures are at their peak when the dish is freshly prepared.
