Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the linguine and cook until al dente (firm to the bite). Check the package for exact cooking time.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer.
- Season with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper.
- Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until fragrant (don’t let it burn!).
- Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom.
- Let the broth simmer until it reduces by half (about 2-3 minutes).
- Slowly add the heavy cream to the skillet while stirring.
- Bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until it melts and the sauce thickens.
- Stir in half of the parsley, basil, and oregano for extra flavor.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle with the remaining parsley, basil, oregano, and extra Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately while warm and creamy. Enjoy your flavorful, restaurant-quality Shrimp Linguine!
Notes

- Using Frozen Shrimp: If you’re using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry before cooking to avoid excess water in the skillet.
- Fresh Herbs Substitution: If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Reduce the amount to about 1 teaspoon each of parsley, basil, and oregano.
- Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little extra heat.
- Storing Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of chicken broth or cream to loosen the sauce.
