What Makes This Dish So Tasty
Helpful Kitchen Tips
- Don’t overcook the shrimp; they should turn pink and opaque, which takes just a few minutes.
- Adjust the level of spice by adding more or less chili according to your preference.
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook it until it’s tender but still has a bit of bite—this usually takes about 11 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta and set it aside.
Step 2
Meanwhile, melt some butter in a big skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and jalapeño, cooking them until they soften and become fragrant, which should take around 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the shrimp, diced tomatoes, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook everything together, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque—this should only take a couple of minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, stirring everything around. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 5
Finally, spoon the shrimp and sauce over the linguine and serve right away.
