We eat a lot of shrimp – probably once a week. In fact, there aren’t too many ways we don’t like shrimp. Actually, I can’t think of any way my husband doesn’t enjoy eating shrimp.
This Shrimp Scampi with Linguine recipe is one of my favorite ways to eat shrimp. I even make this recipe low carb by substituting the pasta with edamame pasta, almond flour fettuccine or even black bean pasta.
What’s the best part about this Shrimp Scampi with Linguine recipe? The sauce! The secret is definitely in the sauce.
And for the best taste, use freshly grated or shaved Parmesan Cheese. You can thank me later for that tip!
