I got this recipe off of another site but modified it quite a bit to suit our tastes. It is very easy and will certainly impress company or make a nice dish for a romantic meal! The key is to use fresh herb in this dish. Serve with a good crusty bread, green salad and a nice white wine. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
3 -4 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped |
3 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup of a good white wine (do not use cooking wine!) |
1/2 lb linguine, cooked al dente |
chopped fresh parsley (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a skillet.
2. Add the shrimp and cook until just pink.
3. Add the garlic, basil and butter.
4. Saute just until butter is slightly melted.
5. Add wine and bring to a boil then reduce and simmer just until slightly reduced and alcohol evaporates.
6. Add cooked Linguini to pan and toss to coat.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley.
