For a dinner party, a romantic meal, or just a quick family dinner, this shrimp linguine recipe is quick and simple to prepare. Shrimp salad prepared already is excellent! I occasionally use chicken instead of shrimp to make another delicious dish!

The recipe was kind of bland. I added mushrooms, onion powder, old bay and creole season. I think it came out great
This was a hit with my famiy which gave me a lot of credit too 🙂 Simple ingredients and easy to follow instructions. Longest time was chopping up the herbs… Highly recommend!
Delicious!! Ingredients lessened due to only for me. I used dried herbs and cut the shrimp into bite size pieces. Definitely make again!! Thank you.
very tasty recipe. will make again.
I found the original recipe to be too strong on parsley. I’m lactose intolerant so I skipped the cream and added white wine and followed another comment by boiling the shrimp in cayenne water. I was much more impressed the second time!
Was surprised by how easy and delicious! Made it for Valentine’s day dinner.
Love how quick and easy it was to make. It was sooo good! I added chicken and mushrooms to it because my daughter wont eat shrimp.
delicious! super easy! i added halved grape tomatoes and some crushed red pepper to spice it up, will definitely make this dish again!
I followed directions exactly and the Parm. Cheese clumped up. My guest even asked me if it was goat cheese. It tasted okay.. very mild almost no taste. I would spice with up with cayenne pepper or something. i will go back to using my old recipe for this dish. And I wont do a new dish when company is coming over. Bad call on my part.
I made it and it was delicious. However I always add a little more garlic than any recipe calls for, and I did so here as well. Also, I added more parsley, basil, and steamed asparagus.
Like another cook, I boiled the shrimp with about 1/4c Creole Seasoning.
I mixed a teaspoon of corn starch with water and thickened the sauce slightly. The sauce is light and lively and the recipe is awesome!
Love this recipe waaaay better than I expected for something so simple, I did add Slap Ya Mama seasoning to the shrimp to give it a lil extra something. Added green and red peppers honestly didn’t even need them, just added them so they didn’t go to waste in the fridge. But I added them towards the end so it didn’t really pick up the flavor, overall the meal was amazing!
Definitely adding to the rotation. Based on a comment, I added chili flakes for a little heat.
This was easy and delicious!!!! Do not substitute the heavy whipping cream, it makes the dish. In fact, you can add just a little more! I did strain the garlic out of the cream so not to bite into pieces of garlic. For the shrimp, I purchased the Tequila Lime Shrimp from Costco; already seasoned and tasted great! It’s a favorite and will be used often.
good recipe, only thing was 16oz was too much pasta. I would go with 12oz and I doubled the garlic and added a jalapeño during the simmer with garlic. oh and quarter cup more cheese
Easy and delicious with two minor changes. I cooked shrimp in hot cast iron skillet for a minute until starting to be opaque them removed from skillet. Cooked remaining ingredients with a dash or two of white wine vinegar. Trust me in the vinegar :). Easy and delicious!
i made this just as the recipe said and it was delicious! Only thing I changed was I didn’t use all of the pasta, I wish I’d have saved some of the pasta water to add at the end to make it a little creamier. Definitely a keeper!
Delish! Made exactly as recipe directs, but had to sub dried basil for fresh as I was out. I cook for my hubby, two sons and my mother in law….Not easy to please us all, but this one did the trick!
This dish was very easy and delicious! Like others, I used half and half instead of heavy cream. It was light and tasty. I also added some chili pepper for a little “kick”. The family loved it! I will definitely make this again.
Amazing recipe made it almost as directed besides the cream didn’t have any so I added flour to butter in the beginning and milk when cream was called for. Did season it according to my family’s likes it’s was delicious quick and easy thank you for the recipe
