This Linguine With Garlic Shrimp is one of the dishes I use to celebrate my Italian heritage. I have Italian night at least a couple times a month.
I serve this dish simply with Italian garlic bread and tossed green salad.
This dish makes you feel as though you are dining in an elegant Italian restaurant. The blend of flavors with the added shrimp is absolutely scrumptious.
