You are going to love this shrimp linguine recipe! It’s perfect for a special dinner at home, but fast enough to make for a delicious weeknight dinner as well. This shrimp and linguine starts with a base of chewy linguine, is topped with buttery garlic shrimp, and finished with crunchy garlic breadcrumbs for big time flavor and texture in each bite. Serve this fresh shrimp pasta with a simple kale salad and a glass of chilled white wine (or NA wine!).
If you like this easy shrimp linguine recipe, be sure to give my lemon pepper shrimp, garlic butter shrimp with couscous, or scallop linguine (made with the same breadcrumb topping!) next time.

Ingredients
- Linguine noodles – Use high-quality pasta for best results.
- Shrimp – Use raw shrimp for the best flavor. You don’t need jumbo shrimp, but buy the biggest you can. Large shrimp is perfect and usually pretty reasonable.
- Olive oil – Use high-quality olive for best flavor.
- Butter – Use high-quality olive for best flavor.
- Garlic – Use fresh garlic cloves. I’m all about shortcuts, but you need fresh garlic for this pasta with shrimp.
- Panko – Panko has a different shape than traditional breadcrumbs which allow them to get nice and crispy. You should be able to find them at your local grocery store with the other breadcrumbs.
- Pine nuts – These add great crunch and flavor. If you don’t want to use them, you can omit or swap in cashews or pecans.
- Parmesan cheese – Use high-quality Parmesan for best flavors.
- Lemon – We’re using both lemon juice and zest, so you’ll need a fresh lemon.
- Garnishes – Flaky sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, red pepper flakes, drizzle of olive oil, fresh Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley.

All shrimp pasta recipes like this one need is a simple veggie side. A bright salad with lemon – like this kale salad or arugula salad – or a simple veggie like haricot verts or asparagus.

Serve with a crisp white wine like a sparkling white or champagne, an un-oaked chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, or pinot grigio. And if you don’t drink wine, try Surely, it’s my favorite NA wine.

How to Feed Shrimp and Linguine to the Whole Family
I get it, feeding kids can be tough! But following the Division of Responsibility and knowing your job and your child’s job makes it SO much more enjoyable. You’ll be able to feed your kids any meal, which will help ensure that they are eating a variety of nutritious foods – with plenty of play food sprinkled in.
I would recommend serving the pasta in a pinch bowl (taster bowl) if it’s a new or learning-to-like it food or you can leave out some of the pasta plain. Serve the meal with a few items you know your kids will eat, like fruit, milk, and/or bread and butter if they don’t do pasta.
