Ingredients

• 12 ounces Linguine pasta
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, along with the cooked linguine, and toss to coat everything in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 8

Stir in the lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley for freshness.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
