Creating Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Linguine is straightforward if you follow these clear and concise steps:
1. Cook the Linguine: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
