Directions
The Linguine with Shrimps are one of the most popular pasta ever, a simple and quick recipe to prepare. The Neapolitan recipe for pasta with shrimps is the most famous and appreciated. We prepare it with cherry tomatoes but you can also prepare it in white, so without using tomato. In our recipe for linguine with Shrimps, we will not use the fish comics, but by frying the heads of the Shrimps in a pan, we will give a particularly intense taste to our pasta.
