Instructions

1
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add in a few drizzles of olive oil, the shallots and garlic. Saut until softened.
2
Toss in 2 cups of frozen peas and cook for a few minutes.
3
Add in the broth and simmer on low for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Using a blender (vent open to allow steam out) or food processor, puree the mixture until smooth.
5
Add in the cream and an additional cup of peas and simmer on low for about 8-10 minutes.
6
While that is simmering we can go ahead and cook the shrimp. Using a paper towel dry off any extra moisture from the shrimp. Toss with salt, pepper and a little garlic powder.
7
In a large saute pan, over medium high heat, add in a few drizzles of olive oil and cook the shrimp a couple minutes per side. They are cooked through once they have turned pink and curled in a bit, the centers should be translucent. Cook in batches so the pan is not over crowded.
8
Once the sauce has finished simmering, toss in the cooked linguini. Taste for salt and pepper.
9
Serve the linguini with several shrimp overtop.
