Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Add 12 oz peeled and deveined shrimp and sauté for 2 minutes per side until just pink; remove shrimp and set aside.

  3. Step 3: Pour in 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes and 2 cups chicken broth, then add 8 oz dry linguine pasta, ensuring pasta is submerged; season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and sauce thickens.
  5. Step 5: Return cooked shrimp to the pot, stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves, and cook for 2 more minutes to heat through.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately topped with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
