Shells Shrimp and Garlic Pasta
Description
Shells Shrimp and Garlic Pasta brings together pasta cooked nearly to al dente with shrimp sautéed in a sauce of olive oil, white wine, heavy cream, and crushed garlic. The addition of soy sauce adds a subtle umami element without overpowering the dish. Butter is used in the pasta cooking water, helping enrich the texture, while salt and pepper season the dish to taste.
The method involves gently cooking the shrimp in the creamy sauce, then tossing with fully cooked linguine to finish cooking both elements together. Though initially runny, the sauce sets into a pleasing consistency as it rests briefly before serving.
Serve the pasta promptly to enjoy the sauce’s creamy texture and the tender shrimp. It pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables. Adjust seasoning to balance the garlic and soy flavors without letting either dominate.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces linguine pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound Shrimp cleaned and halved
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup white wine dry
- 8 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 dashes soy sauce DO NOT OVERDO
- 2 cups heavy cream
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the linguine and butter to a pot of salted boiling water and cook until almost al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, combine the wine, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, heavy cream and soy sauce. Stir in the shrimp then add the linguine. Over medium-high heat, stir gently for a few minutes until the shrimp are done and the linguine is fully cooked.
- Serve immediately. This dish will seem a little runny at first but will set up and turn into a wonderful sauce.
