Shells Shrimp and Garlic Pasta

Yield: 4-6 servings.

8 oz. linguine
2 Tbsp. butter
1 lb. shrimp — cleaned and halved
1/2 C. Olive oil
1/2 C. dry White Wine
8 cloves garlic — crushed
2 dashes soy sauce DO NOT OVERDO, BUT IMPORTANT
2 C. heavy cream
salt and pepperCook the butter and the linguine in salted boiling water until almost al dente. Drain and set aside. Combine olive oil, wine, garlic, salt and pepper, soy sauce and heavy cream in a large saucepan. Add the shrimp, stir and add the linguine. Stirring gently, cook over medium high heat for almost 10 minutes, or until shrimp is done and linguine is perfectly done. Serve at once. It will initially seem a little runny, but will set up and become a wonderful sauce. DO NOT USE HALF AND HALF! Don’t cook it the full 10 minutes if it doesn’t need it.

    I have been looking for this recipe for so long! I loved this pasta at Shells. We went there every time we were in Florida, and I got it every time. I have tried several times to recreate it, but it was never the same. I will try this very soon!

    I worked with Shells seafood restaurant for many years, your recipe is somewhat close but not quite there. The worst offense is cooking for 10 min. This will ruin the shrimp. Many other mistakes, but good try.
