Notes

Shrimp prep: If you have tail-on shrimp, just pull off the tails before you make shrimp linguine, since they are going to be mixed in and you don't want anyone to accidentally get one in their mouth.
Fresh ingredients: Use fresh lemon juice, garlic and so on, for the best and richest flavors.
Perfectly cooked shrimp: Perfectly cooked shrimp curl up a little and they'll turn pink. Once this happens, remove them from the skillet with tongs.
Serve immediately: Enjoy this dish right away while it's nice and hot.
