Red Lobster Shrimp Pasta

By Booper-2

This Red Lobster Shrimp Pasta copycat recipe is delicious. I used a pinot grigio wine but you could substitute chicken broth if you didn't want to use alcohol.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves (I added more!)
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed
• 2/3 cup clam juice (or chicken broth)
• 1/3 cup white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
• 8 ounces pasta, cooked and drained, I used linguine

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; reduce heat to low. Simmer until garlic is tender.

Add shrimp and cook over medium-low heat until opaque. Remove, reserve liquid in pan.

Add clam juice (or chicken broth) and bring to a boil.

Add wine; cook over medium high heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Reduce heat to low; add cream, stirring constantly.

Add cheese, cream cheese, stirring until smooth. Cook until thickened.

Add shrimp back in to sauce. Heat thoroughly.

Add remaining ingredients except pasta.

Put pasta in a large bowl and pour sauce over pasta; toss gently to coat.
