Instructions
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve half a cup of pasta water before draining and set aside.
Saute the Garlic
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add minced garlic. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly so it does not burn.
Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and pour in the white wine. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook or they will become rubbery.
Toss and Serve
Add the drained linguine to the skillet and toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
