Ingredients

  • 8 oz. linguine
  • 2 Tbs. butter
  • 1 lb. shrimp-cleaned and halved
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup dry White wine
  • 8 cloves garlic--crushed
  • 2 dashes soy sauce DO NOT OVERDO,BUT IMPORTANT
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • salt and pepper

Directions

Cook the linguine in boiling salted water (with the 2Tbs. butter),until almost al dente. Drain and set aside. Saute lightly the garlic in the olive oil(do not brown) in a large saucepan. Add the wine, soy sauce, heavy cream, salt and pepper. Add the shrimp, stir, and add the linguine. Stirring gently, cook over medium high heat for almost 10 minutes, or until shrimp are done and the linguine is perfectly done. Serve at once. It will initially seem a little runny, but will set up and become a wonderful sauce. DO NOT USE HALF AND HALF! Don't cook it the full 10 minutes if it doesn't seem to need it.
