  • 0.3 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and slivered (reserve oil)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved tomato oil in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shrimp when oil is hot. Cook, stirring, until shrimp are opaque when cut, about 6 minutes. Remove from pan.

    Meanwhile, cook linguine in boiling salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes for dried linguine. Drain.

    Arrange linguine on plates and spoon sauce and shrimp over top. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Serve immediately.
