0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 4

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 5

  Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then remove them from the pan.

• 6

  In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes, sautéing for 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and blister.

• 7

  Stir in the Calabrian chili paste and the reserved pasta water, whisking slightly to create a light emulsion.

  Add the cooked linguine and shrimp back into the skillet, tossing thoroughly to ensure the spicy sauce coats every noodle.
