This dish blends bold Louisiana flavors with classic Italian pasta. Juicy shrimp are sautéed in butter, garlic, and spices like cayenne, oregano, and paprika, then simmered in a white wine and lemon sauce with a splash of Worcestershire. Al dente linguine soaks up all the savory juices, while fresh parsley adds color and freshness at the end. Combining the pasta with the shrimp and a bit of the cooking water helps create a rich, glossy sauce that coats each strand. Serve immediately for a vibrant, hearty main course that’s full of southern charm and satisfying flavor.
Louisiana Barbecued Shrimp Linguine blends two favorites into one unforgettable dinner: zesty, spice-laden Gulf shrimp swaggering through a buttery southern barbecue sauce, all swirled through tender linguine. If you love dishes that bring bold flavors with just a hint of heat, this meal delivers every time. The sauce is so irresistible I have caught my family mopping up every last drop with hunks of bread more than once.
