Ingredients
- 1 packet of linguine weighing 8 ounces
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 1 cup of finely chopped red onion
- 1 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 can of diced tomatoes weighing 14.5 ounces, drained
- 1 minced clove of garlic
- ½ cup of white wine
- 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Step 1
Begin by bringing a generously salted large pot of water to a lively boil. Add the linguine to the pot and cook it until it reaches that perfect al dente texture, stirring occasionally. This typically takes around 11 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta thoroughly.
Step 2
In a spacious skillet set over medium heat, melt a knob of butter. Saute the onion and jalapeno pepper in the butter until they turn tender and fragrant, which should take about 3 minutes. Next, introduce the shrimp, tomatoes, and garlic to the skillet. Cook and stir until the shrimp turn a lovely opaque color, usually about 2 minutes more. To this delightful mix, pour in a splash of white wine and a squeeze of lemon juice. Allow the concoction to simmer until the sauce achieves a rich, thick consistency, which can take anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
To serve, ladle the flavorful shrimp and sauce over the cooked linguine. Enjoy this delectable dish with a side of crusty bread and a glass of chilled white wine for a truly satisfying meal.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. When storing your fresh shrimp, make sure to place them in a tightly sealed container to maintain their freshness and prevent any odors from escaping.
- 2. For an extra burst of flavor, try marinating your shrimp in a zesty mix of lemon juice, garlic, and chili flakes before storing them in the fridge.
