What We Need To Make the Shrimp Linguine in a White Wine Sauce
- Shrimp
- 1 Onion
- Fresh lemon juice
- Garlic cloves
- Olive oil
- White wine
- Fish stock
- Parsley
- Fresh linguine
- Salt
- Black pepper
REMEMBER, The full recipe and instructions is always found in the recipe card at the end of the post.
How To Make the Shrimp Linguine
- Slice the onion and peel and crush the garlic, I have done the onion finely diced, sliced and diced into bigger pieces for this recipe. It’s you personal preference what you like the best. The garlic is crushed.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the onion, cook the onion down until it’s soft about 5 – 8 minutes.
- Add the garlic, cook for just a minute or two
Cooking the Shrimp
- Add the shrimp to the pan on a high heat, stir them around until they start to cook but don’t cook all the way. About 2 minutes.
IMPORTANT, Don’t cook the shrimp all the way at this stage. Otherwise they will be overcooked in the end. They will finish cooking the sauce.
Making The White Wine Sauce
- Add the wine, fish stock and lemon juice, stir and bring to a simmer for about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
- Add the parsley and lemon zest, and then remove from heat.
WHEN TO COOK THE LINGUINE? If you’re using fresh linguine, it will probably only take about 4 minutes to cook. So, cook it just as you making the sauce for the shrimp. If using dry linguine, cook it in the stage before when you sear the shrimp.
Putting together the Shrimp Linguine
This dish is best served fresh off the stove. So make it just as you’re about to sit and enjoy.
- Plate the dish, I like to use pasta bowls for this dish but you can use plates as well.
- Spoon spaghetti into bowl and top with shrimp and sauce, you can then garnish with a little extra lemon zest and parsley if desired.
plated and Ready To Enjoy
Time to dig in friends. This is an honest to goodness straight forward dish. It’s great to make for a date night in, for friends or just to indulge in yourself. Why not! Much like my Easy Teriyaki Shrimp and Rice, this a keeper!
Can I prepare this dish in advance
Yes, friends you can prepare this entire dish in advance. But like i said above, cook just before serving. It takes such little time to cook, so you won’t be in the kitchen long if all the prep work is done in advance.
Does it matter What Kind of shrimp I use for this recipe
Make sure to purchase large shrimp. Try to buy ones that are still in their shells. Why? In my experience these contain less water and are more flavourful that the shrimp that are already peeled.
They do not need to be fresh. And unless you live when they catch shrimp they are likely to be flow in from afar anyway.
So, Tell Me, What Would Go Great With This Dish
This dish is fantastic just the way it is, honestly! But if you’re looking to turn it into a bigger dinner, serve some of the Fluffy White Dinner Rolls on the side. And you could have a starter like the Arancini made with Leftover Risotto. Then, you can bring the dinner to and end with my famous Profiteroles. Shhhh, they are only famous in my house…hahaha.

Thanks For Stopping By And Hope To See You Soon!
Personally. I like wholewheat spaghetti, it just seems more reliable to cook.
The thing I would suggest is, there’s too much liquid…… I.ve started to make it exactly as you do, but I drain off the spaghetti when it still has a white dot in the middle, maybe 3 minutes too soon.
Add the pasta to the sauce and gently stir over a low heat, until the liquid is almost all absorbed and the pasta is done, then add the prawns and serve.
The pasta is much tastier, and not too much liquid in the bowl.
Thanks for your feedback Neil, much appreciated. I’ve give your way a try next time and see how it goes. Enjoy your Friday!
