How to Make Linguine With Shrimp Pesto
- Bring a large pot of salted water (about 6 quarts) to a rolling boil. Add 1 pound linguine and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and season with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup pesto (store-bought or homemade) and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Add 1 pound cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the sauce. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through and pink.
- Drain the linguine and add it to the skillet with the shrimp and sauce. Toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil (optional).
