A quick and nutritious dish featuring sautéed shrimp, linguine, and a garlicky sauce, capturing the essence of seafood cooking.


Ingredients

  • 8 ounces linguine
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  1. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
