Ingredients

🍝 1 pound linguine pasta
🍤 2 pounds shrimp
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
⚫️ 1 teaspoon black pepper
🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
🫒 1/4 cup olive oil
🧅 1 shallot or small red onion, finely chopped
🧄 5 cloves of garlic, minced
🍅 2 small pints of cherry tomatoes
🧀 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
💧 1 cup reserved pasta water
🌿 A handful of chopped fresh basil
🫒 Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

1- Cook the Linguine:

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente.
Before straining, reserve 1 cup of pasta water. Strain the pasta and set it aside.

2- Prepare the Shrimp:

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
Season them with paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium to high heat.
Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the pan, place them on a plate, and set aside.

3- Cook the Vegetables:

In the same pan, add the chopped shallot and minced garlic.
Sauté for about a minute, allowing them to become aromatic.
Add the cherry tomatoes, cover the pan, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes become tender and start to release their juices.

4- Combine with Pasta:

Add the cooked linguine, grated parmesan cheese, and the reserved pasta water to the pan.
Toss everything together until well combined and the cheese melts into a creamy sauce.

5- Add Shrimp and Basil:

Return the cooked shrimp along with any accumulated juices to the pan.
Add the fresh basil and toss everything together gently but thoroughly.

6- Serve:

Transfer the pasta to serving dishes.
Grate some extra parmesan cheese on top, garnish with additional chopped basil, and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
