Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 12 oz linguine and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente, then drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 12 oz peeled and deveined shrimp, season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
