Ingredients

• 12 oz linguine
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb shrimp
• 1, thinly sliced red bell pepper
• 1, thinly sliced yellow bell pepper
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp, chopped fresh parsley

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 1 lb shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then transfer to a plate.
3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened, then add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Step 4: Pour in 1/4 cup dry white wine and simmer for 2 minutes until reduced by half, then return the shrimp to the skillet.
5. Step 5: Add the drained linguine and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water to the skillet, tossing to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the pasta.
6. Step 6: Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
