Servings: 4 servings
- 1 lb linguine, cooked according to package instructions
- 15 oz jar sundried tomatoes in oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 lb peeled, deveined, tail-off shrimp
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped basil
- 1/3 cup shredded Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
In a large skillet set over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of the oil from your sundried tomatoes. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéeing until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add thawed shrimp, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until lightly pink. Make sure to not overcook them - nothing is worse than rubbery shrimp!
As the shrimp cook, drain the sundried tomatoes, reserving the oil for another use if you prefer. Chop tomatoes and set them aside.
Add cooked pasta to the skillet with the shrimp and add the sundried tomatoes. Toss completely to combine, adding a little more of the oil if you like. Sprinkle with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and half of the chopped basil. Transfer to a serving bowl or individual plates and sprinkle with remaining basil.
