For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of chicken broth to the sauce. Don't overcook the shrimp, or they will become rubbery. Fresh parsley is a must for that vibrant, fresh flavor. Dried parsley will not provide the same effect. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking, depending on your spice preference. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. For a creamier sauce, add a splash of heavy cream at the end. Feel free to substitute the linguine with your favorite pasta shape.
