Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic

Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese

Pasta and Garnish

  • 8 ounces cooked and drained linguine noodles
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • Additional parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and season shrimp: In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season 1 pound of peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Cook shrimp with garlic: Add the seasoned shrimp and 3 teaspoons of minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp are almost pink but not fully cooked through.
  3. Prepare the creamy sauce: Pour in 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup chicken broth, and add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ cup parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  4. Toss pasta with sauce and shrimp: Add 8 ounces of cooked and drained linguine noodles to the skillet with the sauce and shrimp. Gently toss everything together to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy sauce.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and additional parmesan cheese over the pasta before serving. Enjoy immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh jumbo shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
  • Feel free to substitute linguine with your favorite pasta shape.
  • For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, though the sauce may be less rich.
  • To enhance garlic flavor, add an extra garlic clove when cooking shrimp.
