Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces linguine
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
1 1/2 pounds uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
6 green onions, chopped
6 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
2 8-ounce bottles clam juice
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite; drain.
  • Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté shrimp until almost opaque in center, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to watch it closely and remove it from the heat as soon as it's cooked through.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a nice flavor.
  • Add the basil at the end of cooking. Basil is a delicate herb that can easily be overpowered by other flavors, so it's best to add it at the end of cooking.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately, while the shrimp is still hot and the pasta is al dente.

Conclusion:

Pasta with shrimp and basil is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The combination of shrimp, basil, and olive oil is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone at your table.
