Ingredients

  • 8 ounces linguine pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Method

  1. 1

    In a medium-sized saucepan, boil water and salt it. Add your pasta, and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. When the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta.

  2. 2

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter, and add olive oil. Cook the shrimp for a minute, then season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay Seasoning or paprika if using.

  3. 3

    Continue to cook the shrimp until it's pink. Do this in batches if you're worried that you may overcook the shrimp. Remove the shrimp onto a plate and set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same pan, melt the remaining butter and add garlic, cook for 30 seconds or until it's fragrant. Add the heavy cream, and with the spatula deglaze the pan.

  5. 5

    Add parmesan, let it melt then loosen the sauce with reserved pasta water and allow to simmer for a minute. Taste the sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.

  6. 6

    Toss the pasta with the sauce until it's well coated. Add the shrimp back in to reheat it gently, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
