1
Bring your water to a boil (I add salt and olive oil to mine) and cook your pasta according to package instructions.
-
2
Once the linguine is halfway done, heat up one of your larger skillets and add the oil.
-
3
Then, add your garlic.
-
4
Once your garlic is a nice brown color (not burned!
-
5
), go ahead and add your shrimp.
-
6
Sprinkle your seasonings and parsley on top and stir.
-
7
Remember, this has to flavor the pasta too, so its okay if it looks like its a lot.
-
8
This part is also based more on your preference, so feel free to switch it up!
-
9
Next, roll the lemon to get the juices flowing and cut in half.
-
10
Squeeze the juice directly over your shrimp, taking care to keep the seeds out.
-
11
Cook the shrimp until they have lost their translucent appearance, but not all the way.
-
12
Remove from heat.
-
13
Drain your pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup of the water to help thin your sauce a little bit.
-
14
Add both the pasta and the water directly to your shrimp skillet and toss everything together.
-
15
The heat from the pasta will finish cooking the shrimp and keep them from becoming rubbery.
-
16
Finally, add your parmesan to the skillet and stir.
-
17
Dish it out, and garnish with more cheese and parsley if desired.
-
18
Yum.
