Lemon Basil Shrimp Linguini
Ingredients:
- Lemon Basil Shrimp Linguini
- 1/2 package of uncooked linguini (you could use any pasta you wanted, really)
- 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp (I bought frozen, but fresh would probably be better)
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry Vermouth or white wine
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 3 Tablespoons drained capers
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 handful chopped basil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the linguini (or other pasta) in a large pot of salted, boiling water.
- Melt butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, Vermouth or wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and cook until the garlic is browned (but not burnt), and the liquid is reduced by half.
- Add the shrimp, capers, and onion powder and cook for 3 minutes or until they are done (opaque). Add the chopped basil and however much salt and pepper you would like.
- Combine the shrimp and sauce mixture with the cooked pasta and serve over spinach. Another alternative to the sauce if you wanted to have more would be to make a cream sauce to serve with this.
