Italian Garlic Linguine Shrimp

I LOVE testing out our new Tastefully Simple products when we go through a season change!  Last night I tried out our BRAND NEW '29 Minute Citrus Marinate'.  Imagine an Italian dressing blended with wonderful citrus flavors!  This is definitely one you're going to want to have on hand - especially when you fire up that grill.  However, as last night's dinner proved, works just as good to saute in the pan.

This recipe was inspired by my love of buttered noodles from Noodles & Co.  Sometimes we over think what it takes to make a good meal.  The below recipe shows you really can make a great HOMEMADE meal in the same time it takes to sit in a fast food line.


Italian Garlic Linguine Shrimp
Ingredients
2 lbs. uncooked, tail off shrimp (I get frozen and defrost in fridge over night or rinse under cold water for 5 min.)
1/2 bottle Tastefully Simple 29-minute Citrus Marinade  (Available as of March 1st!)
Linguine pasta (I used 1/2 box)
1-2 Tbsp Tastefully Simple Italian Garlic Bread Seasoning
1 Tbsp butter

Place thawed shrimp in gallon size ziploc bag, add marinade and place in refrigerator.  (I had to prep mine ahead of time, so it actually marinated for about an hour.  With seafood you don't even really need the 29 minutes as the citrus will actually start to cook the seafood.  However, mine was fine after being in the fridge for an hour.)

Cook pasta while you saute shrimp on stovetop.  Rinse pasta, add in 1 Tbsp butter to noodles.  Add in Italian Garlic Bread Seasoning.  Add in cooked shrimp.  Enjoy!
