Ingredients:

• 1 lb. shrimp
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ cup dry white wine (see notes)
• 3 tablespoons salted butter
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 ½ cups half and half (half light cream/half milk)
• ¾ cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (see notes)
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 10 oz. Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies (juices reserved)
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
• 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• ½ lb. linguine
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• ½ teaspoon EACH: onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, mustard powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Instruction:

1. Pro Tip: I leave the shell on during cooking as it really helps ensure that the shrimp doesn’t get overcooked, which is easy to do. Then I let it cool and remove the shell/tail afterwards.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 1 minute + 20 seconds per side. (Use a timer to avoid overcooking). Tilt the pan to transfer the shrimp onto a clean plate. Note that they’ll cook a little bit more as they sit, and again when added back to the sauce. Turn heat off.
3. Begin boiling a separate pot of salted water for the pasta while you prepare the sauce as outlined below.
4. Add the cream cheese and stir to combine. Stir in the drained diced tomatoes. (Pro Tip: Reserve the juice for the end in case you prefer to thin the sauce out later.)
5. Garnish with parsley and serve!
