Ingredients
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces fresh linguine
- 12 large shrimp, peeled
- 8 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender and al dente, 1 to 3 minutes (or according to package directions). Drain well and set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan.
- Using a small paring knife, remove the vein along the back of each shrimp and rinse under running water. Add the garlic to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp to the water with the garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the shrimp and garlic. Peel and finely chop the garlic.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cream begins to thicken. Stir in the Parmesan, parsley and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the linguine in a large bowl and toss to coat. Garnish with more Parmesan and parsley.

Reviews
Really easy to make with simple ingredients, loved how the boiled garlic blended into the sauce, next time I might add more garlic! Added baby spinach at the end just to get some more greens in the meal.
absolutely fabulous, my picky three year old made a happy plate! so easy!
Super easy and good. – we topped ours with chives and chopped cherry tomatoes
This was very good & easy to make! I’m making it again for the second time & I won’t be changing anything. Yummy!
Its great she loved it I was jet hero
Comes together very easily. I had sea scallops so substituted those for the shrimp. Cream sauce was yummy.
Pretty terrific! Heavy cream is a must. The sauce needs the full flavor of the cream to balance the Parmesan and garlic. Fresh parsley added at the end provides a nice sparkle. Cooks easy, eats fancy!
I love it im going to your recipe
