Shrimp Linguine

Serves 4

​

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Toppits Black Tiger or Pacific White Peeled & Deveined Shrimp

• 1 lb linguine pasta

• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided

• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided

• 2 tsp. lemon zest

• 1 tsp. salt, or more to taste

• 1/2 tsp. pepper

• 1/2 tsp. hot red chilli flakes (optional)

 

Directions:

1. Add oil to a pan with garlic (and chilli flakes). Cook gently until garlic is fragrant and tender, but do not brown.  Add shrimp, half the parsley and salt. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat. 

2. Just before serving, cook linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water. Drain pasta and add shrimp to the pan, then toss gently until liquid is absorbed. Add remaining parsley and lemon zest. 

3. Add a bit more olive oil, if the pasta seems a little dry. Season to taste.
