Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 lb medium shrimp, (peeled and deveined)
  • 3 Tbsp butter, (divided)
  • 3 garlic cloves, (minced)
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup half and half*, (then more to thin if needed)
  • 1 (12 oz) pkg. Barilla Pronto Linguine
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup finely shredded parmesan
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instruction

  • Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat, add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. 
  • Cook stirring occasionally until opaque and cooked through. Transfer shrimp to a piece of foil and wrap to keep warm.
  • Return saute pan to medium heat and melt remaining 2 Tbsp butter. Add garlic and saute 20 seconds or until slightly golden. 
  • Add water, 1 cup half and half, linguine and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. 
  • Allow to boil, stirring frequently until noodles have reached desired doneness, about 10 minutes (there should be some excess liquid, this will be the sauce). 
  • Remove from heat, add in parmesan and stir until it has melted (it may appear to clump up at first but should melt after a bit of stirring). 
  • Thin with more half and half if needed (as it sits it will thicken). Toss in shrimp and sprinkle parsley over top. Serve warm.
