Does the world really need another Garlic Shrimp Linguine recipe? We think it does. Because when it comes to a simple dish like this, the difference between “so-so” and spectacular lies in the quality of the shrimp. Our Wild Gulf Shrimp are sweet, firm, succulent… and did we mention domestic and sustainable? They shine in this not-so-classic Scampi, garnished with a scattering of summer’s ripest tomatoes. It’s on the table in the time it takes to boil your pasta, and it's absolutely, mind-bogglingly delicious.
This recipe works with either our Jumbo Easy-Peel Wild Gulf Shrimp (pictured in photo), or our regular Wild Gulf Shrimp.
Garlic Shrimp Linguine
Serves 3
Ingredients:
- One 12-count pack Jumbo Easy-Peel Wild Gulf Shrimp, de-shelled, or one 10-ounce pack regular Wild Gulf Shrimp
- 6 oz Linguine
- 2 tbsp Butter

- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Handful fresh cherry tomatoes, cut in halves (optional)
Preparation:
- Defrost and peel the shells from your shrimp (if applicable). Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the linguine in a large pot with salted water. Follow the instructions of the packet to cook the pasta al dente.
- Meanwhile, in a large pan melt the butter and olive oil over medium low heat. Add garlic and sauté for a minute.
