I’m trying to do a better job of sharing the recipes we eat at our house during the week.
With 7 people it sometimes gets really creative… but a lot of times I make a dinner that works like last night’s Shrimp Linguini. It only took 15 minutes to make (but in my house took 2 hours because of all the constant interruptions) and was absolutely delicious.
So, in an effort to try to share 2 recipes a week here is this absolutely phenomenal creamy shrimp pasta that could be added to your dinner rotation.
Enjoy!

- 8 oz linguine pasta

Directions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, boil water and salt it. Add your pasta, and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. When the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet melt the butter and add olive oil. Cook the shrimp for a minute, then season with salt, pepper, Old Bay Seasoning and lemon juice…remove from pan and set aside.
