Notes

Don’t skimp on the garlic; it’s essential for the flavor. Feel free to swap linguine for fettuccine or spaghetti if desired. For a dairy-free version, use olive oil instead of butter. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently and avoid the microwave to keep the shrimp tender.
