Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook 8 oz linguine in a large pot of salted boiling water for 8 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. Add 12 oz shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Add drained linguine, 1/2 cup reserved pasta water, and 1/4 cup chopped basil. Toss for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the pasta, adding more pasta water if needed.
