Why This Dish Is So Satisfying
Brimming with bold flavors and a perfect balance of spicy heat and savory richness. It cooks quickly, making it ideal for busy weeknights or last-minute gatherings. The tender shrimp absorb the sauce beautifully, creating a satisfying and memorable meal.
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the linguine and cook it until it’s just tender but still has a bit of bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, melt some butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and jalapeño, and cook them until they’re soft and fragrant, roughly 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the shrimp, diced tomatoes, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, which should take about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, then let the sauce simmer gently. Keep cooking until it thickens up nicely, around 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 5
Finally, spoon the shrimp and sauce over the linguine and dig in!
