I'm making it on Wednesday and I was curious about the sauce... I was planning on using heavy cream, lemon zest, garlic sauteed and a little bit of corn starch in a pan to make the sauce with nutmeg and salt/pepper and adding lemon juice slowly...

Adding the garlic/herb shrimp at the end...

Then cooking the pasta.

Thoughts?

Ina Garten has a great recipe.

I would skip the cream. Really, google her recipe or go to FoodTv.com.

Sounds like you need to make shrimp scampi. Skip the cream.

I make this all the time and it is delicious.

Shrimp Linguine with Lemon Oil

For the lemon oil:

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, zested

For the pasta:

1 pound linguine pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
16 ounces frozen shrimp
1/4 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 lemon, zested
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces arugula (about 3 packed cups)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

For the lemon oil:

Combine the olive oil and the lemon zest in a small bowl and reserve.

For the pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

Meanwhile, in a large, heavy skillet warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked linguine, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. Turn off the heat and add the arugula. Using a mesh sieve, strain the lemon zest out of the reserved lemon olive oil and add the oil to the pasta. The zest can be discarded. Add some of the cooking water to desired consistency. Add the chopped parsley to the pasta and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Too much lemon juice will make cream curdle, which is not a nice thing.
