    Easy Shrimp Linguine

    This is the easiest shrimp recipe I have ever made and my family absolutely adores it. You can make it with fresh shrimp or cooked shrimp and it turns out amazing every time. Sometimes I even make it with leftover shrimp cocktail!

    Crisp white wine finishes the sauce and highlights the flavors of garlic, onion, and shrimp. Then, I add a bright lemony finish and wrap it all in deliciously satisfying linguine pasta.

    We loved this recipe so much that we have added it to our weekly rotation. It is the perfect quick and delicious meal.

    And that’s it! My linguine with shrimp recipe is that easy to make.

    Linguine with Shrimp Recipe Tips

    • We recommend a good quality wine like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, or a Riesling for pairing and cooking with this recipe.
    • Instead of wine, you can substitute chicken broth.
    • You can top the linguine with Parmesan if you prefer.
    • Elevate this dish by swapping out shrimp for prawns! Garlic butter prawns are delicious.
    • Reserve 1 cup of pasta water to add to the sauce if a more creamy texture is desired. 

    Shrimp Linguine Recipes FAQs

    Can I use frozen shrimp?

    Frozen shrimp can be used to make garlic shrimp scampi pasta. It saves you the time and effort of peeling and de-veining your own shrimp.

    Can I make shrimp scampi without wine?

    Instead of using wine, you can use the same amount of seafood or chicken stock.

    What kind of white wine works best?

    Use a dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

    How long does shrimp scampi last in the refrigerator?

    This recipe lasts up to 3 days in the fridge stored in an airtight container.

    Can I use leftover shrimp?

    You absolutely can use leftover cooked shrimp in this recipe. I have even used leftover cocktail shrimp in a pinch and it works.

    How to Defrost Frozen Shrimp

    1. First, add the frozen shrimp to a bowl of cold water. Make sure the cold water fully covers the shrimp. Do not use warm water!
    2. Allow the shrimp to sit in the cold water for 10 to 15 minutes. If they need more time, drain the water after 10 minutes, add fresh cold water, and allow them to sit for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
    3. Finally, dry the shrimp with paper towels before cooking.

    If you want to elevate this dish even further, you could substitute prawns for shrimp. Prawn linguine is delicious, especially as prawn scampi.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 pound linguine pasta
    • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined*, see notes for frozen shrimp
    • 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 onion finely chopped
    • 2 garlic cloves minced

    Instructions

      3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 onion
      Sauteeing onion and garlic

      Cooking shrimp with onion and garlic
    • Cook the linguine in a large pan with salted boiling water. Cook until it is still slightly hard to chew (al dente), which is about 2-3 minutes less than the cooking time on the pasta box. Drain the linguine in a colander and add the pasta to the shrimp scampi in the skillet. Add the butter. Mix everything over low heat for 1-2 minutes.

    • Reserve approximately 1 cup of the pasta water. If you want your scampi sauce to be a bit more creamy and saucy, add approximately ½ cup at a time to the pasta and stir until creamy. Finally, serve immediately. Add more fresh pepper and parsley, if desired. Garnish with parmesan cheese and enjoy!
