Can I use frozen shrimp?

Absolutely, Just thaw them overnight in the fridge or under cold running water before cooking. Frozen shrimp works just as well as fresh in this recipe—I use it all the time when I'm in a pinch.

How can I make it spicier?

Easy, Crank up the red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne when sautéing the garlic. My husband loves it when I add an extra 1/4 teaspoon—just enough to make your lips tingle.

What if I don't have linguine?

No worries—any long pasta works great. Spaghetti, fettuccine, or even angel hair would be delicious. The key is using that starchy pasta water to bring everything together.

Can I add vegetables?

Of course, Sliced cherry tomatoes, spinach, or sautéed mushrooms would be fantastic additions. Just toss them in with the shrimp during the last minute of cooking.

Is there a dairy-free option?

Skip the Parmesan or use nutritional yeast for a similar umami kick. The dish will still be packed with flavor from the garlic and red pepper flakes.
