Want something that looks kinda fancy and is super easy to make? Shrimp and Broccoli Linguine has your back! And man, is it easy!
This could definitely be a trendy, keyword happy, “one pot” meal, but I figure the time spent washing an extra pan is a lot less than waiting for pasta to cook. So, get outta here with your “one pot” hooplah and lets get this meal made in a timely manner! I’ve got a pooch to walk, dammit!
The garlic, butter, lemon juice & red pepper flakes make such a great combo, but if the mild heat that the red pepper flakes provide isn’t really your style, feel free to remove them. I would fault you for it, but I simply can’t force you to have them. If I could though… oh… you’d have them!
This is also a great “leftovers” meal. Just double what you’d normally eat, and the rest is ready for reheat the next day. And when it comes to any pasta dish, you know those flavours are often even better that way.
