Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds jumbo shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails on)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1 cup plain panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp lemon pepper
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion or shallot
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste or chopped garlic
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups white grape juice and vegetable broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese or Italian cheese blend
  • 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp lemon pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1 lb linguine

Instructions

  1. Step: Cook pasta according to package instructions, drain and set aside.
  2. Step: While pasta is cooking, work on shrimp. First, season shrimp, then bread and set aside on a wire rack until frying.
  3. Step: Heat frying pan with oil on medium heat, then shallow fry for 3 minutes or until each side is golden brown.
  4. Step: Set fried shrimp aside on a cooling rack and proceed to making the sauce.
  5. Step: In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter and saute vegetables until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  6. Step: Next, deglaze with white grape juice and vegetable broth and allow that to cook off for another minute.
  7. Step: Once liquid has reduced, add heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
  8. Step: Season the sauce to taste and add cheese and lemon juice.
  9. Step: Once the sauce has thickened, after about 5 minutes, it’s time to add the cooked linguine noodles.
  10. Step: Turn off the heat and add linguine and toss to combine.
  11. Step: Add shrimp on top of pasta and garnish with fresh lemon zest if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

The panko breading is a light breading and not meant to be a heavy batter. If you prefer the shrimp to be fully coated, use a light egg wash before dipping them into the panko breading.
