Description
Quick and easy to make, this is a hit for a dinner party or just a quick family dinner. Already cooked salad shrimp works great! I also occasionally substitute chicken for the shrimp for another great flavored dish!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds cooked fresh shrimp
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic

- 1 (16 ounce) package linguini pasta
Instructions
