I Found The BEST Shrimp Pasta Recipe!

Linguine with shrimp is seriously one of the most delicious seafood pasta dishes. Fortunately I found the BEST shrimp pasta recipe: Linguine With Pink Shrimp Sauce. Honestly I don't have the words to adequately describe how delicious this dish is.

I initially found this recipe in a newspaper clipping a few years ago and have held onto it. It has become one of my favorite shrimp recipes.

For me, this dinner is a HUGE treat. It's luxurious, it's scrumptious, it's incredible. The sauce has a lovely pink hue, so this dish is also very beautiful.

The recipe comes from chef Giuliano Hazan's "Giuliano Hazan's Thirty Minute Pasta: 100 Quick and Easy Recipes" cookbook, which tells you that you can create this pretty quickly. It is everything you could want in a shrimp pasta dish! Every mouthful is full of shrimpy, garlicky, and creamy delight!

What is Pink Sauce?

Italian pink sauce is made by combining cream and tomato (in the form of tomato puree or tomato paste). The combination results in a creamy sauce with a delightful shade of pink.

This sauce is super easy to make and complements pasta perfectly.

Ingredients Needed For This Linguine With Pink Shrimp Sauce Dish

This AMAZING pasta dish is created with only a handful of fresh ingredients.

Shrimp with shell on in a white bowl, bottle of white wine and extra virgin olive oil, carton of heavy whipping cream, box of tomato paste, package of linguine, 4 garlic cloves and Italian parsley

Here's what you will need to make this seafood pasta recipe:

  • Shrimp (recommend wild caught)
  • Garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Tomato paste
  • White wine
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Linguine
  • Italian parsley
  • Heavy cream

You may already have most of these ingredients available and ready to go!

So once you've gathered your ingredients, let's move on to how to make this five star seafood dish!

Instructions For This Shrimp Pasta Recipe

It's so easy and quick to make this shrimp pasta!

Begin by filling a large pot for the pasta with about 6 quarts of water, place over high heat, and bring to a boil.

Next, peel and devein the shrimp. Cut one-third of the shrimp into ½-inch pieces and leave the rest whole.

Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves. Put the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet, add the garlic, and place over medium-high heat. Sauté until the garlic cloves are lightly browned on all sides, then remove them and discard.

While the garlic is sautéing, dissolve the tomato paste in the white wine. After removing the garlic cloves, add the wine with dissolved tomato paste to the pan and cook until the liquid has reduced by about half.

Add the whole shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp have turned pink, 2 to 3 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.

When the water for the pasta is boiling, add about 2 tablespoons salt, add the linguine, and stir until all the strands are submerged. Cook in the salted boiling water until al dente.

Finely chop enough parsley to measure 2 tablespoons. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked shrimp to a food processor. Pulse until the shrimp are chopped to a medium-fine consistency, then return them to the pan.
