MEDITERRANEAN SHRIMP AND LINGUINE
Pretty and healthy, this looks like it came from an Italian restaurant. When I'm in a rush, I use a jarred tomato sauce and omit the tomatoes and seasonings. You can also fix this ahead and reheat it for convenience. -Nancy Deans, Acton, Maine

Steps:
- Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, 1 teaspoon pepper, Cajun seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add shrimp and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator while you prepare the sausage.

- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
- While the pasta is cooking, remove shrimp from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Place garlic in the same skillet used to cook the sausage. Cook garlic over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until pink, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour wine into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Choose shrimp that are firm and have a good color. Use fresh linguine noodles, and make sure the vegetables are crisp and tender.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until they are pink and opaque.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. Choose a good quality extra-virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and don't be afraid to add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the dish immediately. Shrimp and linguine is best served immediately, while the shrimp is still hot and the linguine is still al dente.
Conclusion:
Mediterranean shrimp and linguine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and healthy ingredients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try.
