Zesty Shrimp and Tomato Linguine

How to make it

1. 1

   Cook linguine according to package directions in salted water until al dente. Remember to reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining the noodles.

2. 2

   While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.

4. 4

   Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they soften and begin to burst, creating a lovely light sauce.

5. 5

   Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until they turn pink and are cooked through.

6. 6

   Toss in the drained linguine and a splash of the reserved pasta water. Gently combine everything, allowing all the wonderful flavors to meld. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit more pasta water for a smoother consistency. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

7. 7

   Serve your delicious Zesty Shrimp and Tomato Linguine immediately and enjoy every bite.
