Ingredients

• 12 oz linguine
• 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
• 1 tsp salt

1. 1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. 3 In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. 4 Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
5. 5 Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the creamy garlic sauce.

7. 7 Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
