A delightful twist on a classic Thai-inspired shrimp pasta dish, combining bold flavors and a creamy texture.
Combine all sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Prepare the sauce in advance to allow the flavors to meld together.
Cook the linguine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency later.
Heat butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add shrimp to the pan and cook until pink and opaque, about 3 minutes per side.
Ensure the shrimp are evenly spaced in the pan for even cooking.
Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with the shrimp and stir to coat evenly.
Lower the heat to prevent the sauce from separating.
Toss the cooked linguine into the pan with the shrimp and sauce. Mix well.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, toasted peanuts, and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
