Cook the Pasta:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook linguine according to package instructions.

  • Before draining, reserve 1 cup of pasta water (to adjust sauce consistency later).

Cook the Shrimp:

  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    2 tbsp olive oil
  • Add shrimp in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
  • Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy and cooked through.
  • Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce:

  • In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute (careful not to burn).

Assemble Everything:

  • Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce.
