Cooking Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the shrimp with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside for a moment to allow flavors to blend.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and sauté the shrimp for 6-8 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Lower heat to medium, add butter to the skillet until melted, then stir in minced garlic for about 30 seconds.
  5. Sprinkle flour into the skillet to make a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth and thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Stir in Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and paprika. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Add the cooked linguine and shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce and heating for 3-4 minutes.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with more basil or cheese if desired.
