Preparation

Step 1

Fill a large saucepan with about 2 quarts of water. Add about 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and place the pan over high heat. Bring the water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook the pasta following the package directions for al dente pasta.

Peel and devein the shrimp.* In a small bowl, toss shrimp with garlic and basil. Refrigerate while linguine is cooking.

Cook linguine in boiling salted water following the package directions.

Spray a 1 1/2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon half the tomatoes into the baking dish; top with linguine.

Heat oven to 350°F.

In the same pot that you cooked the linguine in or a skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced green onions; cook for 1 minute. Add shrimp mixture, peas, wine, salt and pepper and the remaining tomatoes; cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Pour the shrimp mixture over linguine in the baking dish then top with the mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

*Peel the shrimp and run the tip of a small, sharp knife down the back of the shrimp. Pull the dark vein out or scrape it out with the tip of the knife.
