Shrimp Linguine

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds cooked fresh shrimp
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 0.5 cup chopped parsley
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (16 ounce) package linguini pasta

Instructions

  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 11 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and sauté briefly to release flavor. Add cream; heat just to boiling, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low; stir in shrimp, parsley, basil, and thyme. Continue cooking until shrimp are just heated through; remove sauce from heat.
  3. Drain pasta and toss lightly with cream sauce. Add Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste; toss again and serve.
