Dinner 30 Mins.

Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 large lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup cream
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until soft, about 1 minutes. Add chicken broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil.
  • Add shrimp and cook only until it turns pink; do not fully cook at this point. Remove shrimp from the sauce and set aside; cover to keep warm.
  • Reduce the skillet temperature to medium. Add Parmesan cheese, cream, and lemon zest to the sauce; bring to a simmer. Cook to thicken the sauce, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Add shrimp to the sauce just before it has fully thickened and cook until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes; don't overcook.
  • Combine shrimp sauce, pasta, and cilantro; toss and serve.
