Chef Luna:: Garlic Shrimp and Crab Linguine

Lately I've been cooking more often, and I've been making some amazing dishes! So I've decided to keep track of these great meals that I create every now and then.  This time I cooked garlic shrimp and crab linguine. Here's the recipe I followed from allrecipes.com:

Ingredients

  • 1 pound uncooked linguine
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 tablespoons white wine
  • 2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium low heat; add wine, cheese, garlic, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Increase heat to medium high and add shrimp to saucepan; cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until shrimp begins to turn pink. Do not overcook.
  4. Divide pasta into portions and spoon sauce on top; garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired. 
As you can tell I did add the crab on my own.  I didn't have enough shrimp and decided to add crab it to make up for it.  Also I didn't have any garlic cloves to I use garlic salt instead and I had to skip the parsley since I didn't have any of that either.  However, the dish turn out fantastic! So if anyone else makes this let me know how yours turns out.
