  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 oz linguine
– 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
– 2 cups fresh spinach
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Preparing Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Linguine is simple and can be done by following these easy steps:

1. Cook the Linguine: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. Add Cream and Tomatoes: Pour in the heavy cream and add the sun-dried tomatoes. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

5. Add Spinach: Incorporate the fresh spinach into the cream sauce. Cook for a few minutes until it wilts down.

6. Combine Pasta and Shrimp: Add the cooked linguine and sautéed shrimp back into the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is thoroughly coated with the sauce.

7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

8. Serve: Dish out the creamy linguine onto plates. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
