  • Season 1 pound peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the seasoned shrimp to the hot skillet and cook about 1–2 minutes per side, until they are almost pink but not fully cooked.

  • Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for about 3–5 minutes until it starts to thicken and the shrimp finish cooking through.
  • Add 8 ounces cooked and drained linguine noodles to the skillet. Gently toss or stir for 1–2 minutes to combine and coat the noodles in the sauce.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional parmesan cheese before serving.
