Ingredients
-
12 oz linguine pasta
-
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1/4 tsp black pepper
-
1/2 cup dry white wine
-
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
-
1/4 cup tomato paste
-
1 tsp dried oregano
-
1/2 tsp sugar
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (plus extra for garnish)
-
Juice of 1/2 lemon
-
Optional: grated Parmesan for serving
Instructions
-
Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
-
Cook the shrimp: While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until just pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
-
Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, then sauté the garlic and red pepper flakes for about 30 seconds. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
-
Add tomatoes: Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, and sugar. Let the sauce simmer for 8–10 minutes until slightly thickened.
-
Combine everything: Return the shrimp to the skillet and add lemon juice and parsley. Toss in the cooked linguine and stir until everything is well coated.
-
Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with extra parsley and Parmesan, if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
-
You can use crushed tomatoes instead of diced if you prefer a smoother sauce.
-
Adjust red pepper flakes based on your spice level.
-
This dish pairs beautifully with a glass of dry white wine.
