INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 pounds cooked fresh medium deveined shrimp, tail off

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 cup chopped medium onion

1 cup half-and-half

1/2 cup chopped parsley

3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Sea salt to taste

Lemon-pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cook pasta until al dente according to package directions.
2. While linguine is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet. Add onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes while occasionally stirring. Add onions and sauté 2 minutes to release flavor. Add half-and-half; heat just to boiling, stirring frequently. Lower heat, and stir in shrimp, parsley, basil, and thyme. Continue cooking until shrimp are just heated through. Do not overcook shrimp! Remove sauce from heat.
