Garlic Shrimp Scampi Linguine
I originally happened upon this recipe from Julie's Eats & Treats, which I'm mentioning just to be fair although the recipe is actually straight from McCormick.
You can just see the goodness that's there.
I'm going to give you a slightly modified version of McCormick's recipe because I think that there was enough garlic butter and shrimp to cover double the pasta and when I make this again, I'm going to make the amount of pasta that I'm putting in this post.
Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Linguine
Ingredients
- 16 ounces linguine
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
- 12 ounces extra small shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 package McCormick Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Seasoning Mix
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or 2 tablespoons white wine
Directions
- Cook pasta as directed on package and drain well.
- Place shrimp in cold water in order to thaw out. After about five minutes, pull all of the tails off.
- Meanwhile......heat oil & butter in a large skillet on medium heat until butter is melted. Stir well. Add shrimp. I used cooked shrimp but if you are using uncooked, make sure that the shrimp turn pink (you can see the shrimps I used to the right). Stir in seasoning mix.
- Add lemon juice or wine. I skipped this step because surprisingly I did not have any white wine at the house (I pretty much always do).
- Toss the pasta with the shrimp and garlic butter sauce.
- Serve with freshly grated cheese, or if you're like me, the frozen stuff you have in your freezer.
