Ingredients:

200g linguine pasta

250g large shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 tbsp olive oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 red chili, finely chopped (or 1 tsp red chili flakes)

1/2 cup white wine

1/2 cup heavy cream

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Parmesan cheese, for garnish

 

Instructions:

Cook the linguine according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add garlic and red chili. Sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in the heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Add the cooked linguine and shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. If needed, add reserved pasta water to thin the sauce.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
