INSTRUCTIONS

ROAST THE TOMATOES:

• To roast the tomatoes, follow this recipe for the steps.

BOIL THE PASTA:

• Cook pasta according to packaging. NOTE: Linguine pasta doesn’t take a long time to cook, usually 8-10 minutes (however, you should cook at 7-9 minutes or so—‘al dente’).

SAUTE THE SHRIMP:

• In a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 Tbsps of butter until melted. Add in the shrimp (seasoned w/ salt + pepper) and cook on both sides (about 3-4 minutes), until pink and cook through. Remove from skillet and set shrimp aside on a plate or in a bowl.

MAKE THE SAUCE:

• In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter and the olive oil and add minced garlic to sauté frequently about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add in the cajun seasoning and red pepper flakes and whisk until well combined.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly add in the heavy cream, chicken stock, lemon juice, and white wine, stirring until incorporated. Let it bubble for 1-2 minutes and then add in the grated parmesan, whisking until fully melted and sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Add salt to taste, if needed.
• When the pasta is done, drain it and add it to the sauce, stirring until sauce fully coats + sticks to pasta. Toss in the shrimp and roasted tomatoes until fully coated. Remove from heat and serve immediately with your favorite side, if desired.
• Bon Appetit!
