How to Make Emeril's Shrimp And Pasta In A Spicy Tomato Chili Cream Sauce

  1. Bring 1 gallon of water to a boil in a large stockpot. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt.
  2. Add 1 pound linguine to the boiling water. Stir, return to a boil, and cook until al dente (about 12 minutes).
  3. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  4. While pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Season 1 pound shrimp with 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add shrimp to the pan and sear until pink and browned on both sides (about 2 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
  6. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and 1 jalapeño pepper (minced) to the pan. Sauté until softened and slightly caramelized (4-5 minutes).
  7. Add 4 cloves garlic (minced) and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  8. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream, remaining Creole seasoning (2 tablespoons), 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cream is slightly reduced (about 2 minutes).
  9. Return shrimp to the pan. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, cooked linguine, and reserved pasta water. Toss to combine and cook for 3-5 minutes.
  10. Remove from heat. Stir in 4 ounces pepper jack cheese (shredded), 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated), and 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped). Toss to combine.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
