Directions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Slice shrimp into 1/2-in. (1 cm) pieces and toss in a bowl with chili paste. Set aside.
-
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic until lightly golden, then stir in tomatoes. Add shrimp and cook until pieces turn opaque and are just cooked through, 3 to 4 min. Stir in lemon juice.
-
Meanwhile, add linguine to boiling water and cook according to package directions, reserving 1/4 cup (60 mL) of pasta water before draining. Stir reserved water and linguine into the shrimp mixture along with basil, salt and pepper. Toss together and serve.
Tip
Cutting extra-large shrimp into pieces ensures great flavour, a quicker cook time and a bite of shrimp in every forkful.
