Step 1

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; reduce heat to low. Simmer until garlic is tender.

Add shrimp in same skillet and cook over medium-low heat until opaque. Remove shrimp; reserve liquid in pan.

Add clam juice (I use the chicken broth when I'm out of clam juice); bring to a boil.

Add wine; cook over medium-high heat 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Reduce heat to low; add cream, stirring constantly. Add cheese; stir until smooth. Cook until thickened.

Add shrimp to sauce. Heat through. Add lemon juice, parsley, basil, and oregano. Pour over linguine in large bowl; toss gently to coat. Serve with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
