Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound linguine
- 2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 5 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 cup diced yellow onion (about 1 medium)
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic (2-3 cloves)
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay)
- 2 14-ounce cans fire-roasted tomatoes
- Chopped fresh parsley or basil, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
- Season shrimp with salt and black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear shrimp 1–2 minutes per side until just cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Sauté onions until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and oregano, cooking 1 minute more.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine, letting it reduce slightly, about 2 minutes.
- Add fire-roasted tomatoes, crushing them slightly with a spoon. Simmer sauce for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
- Return shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Add reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Toss linguine with the shrimp and sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor, but frozen shrimp thawed properly works well too.
- Pair with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
