This one reminds me of carb dinners on Fridays before high school volleyball tournaments. Nothing compares to pasta with seafood in it.
Anastasia says
Linguini is by far our most favourite type of pasta - and the flavours in your recipe seem very classic, we should definitely try it!
Elise says
All I tasted was the wine!! What did I do wrong?
Aberdeen says
So sorry this didn't turn out for you! If you decide to make it again, you can always try less wine (maybe half the amount called for), and simmer the sauce for longer after you add it to make sure it cooks down a bit more.

what happens with the three whole cloves of garlic?
Bailey McBurnett says
Very delicious and so easy!! I added chopped yellow onion and Roma tomatoes. Used dried parsley cause I didnโt have any fresh on hand, but it did the trick! Very light, fresh, and satisfying!
estrella says
This is the so far the best recipe for Linguini shrimp I got. Instead of fresh parsley, I added 1/2 cup of fresh basil
and half cup of sun-dried tomatoes.
