Ingredients

400 g Linguine

100 g Almonds

60 g Parsley

1 Tbsp Capers

1 Lemon

50 g Pecorino Cheese

400 g Shrimp

1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

1/4 cup Heavy Cream

Method

Cook the linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions.

While the pasta cooks, blend the almonds, parsley, capers, and juice of half the lemon with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a food processor until it forms a coarse paste.

In a pan, cook the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, or until they turn pink. Turn off the heat, add a squeeze of lemon juice, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Return the pasta to the pot.

Stir the almond mixture into the pasta, adding heavy cream and enough reserved pasta water to reach a creamy consistency.

Fold in the cooked shrimp and mix until well combined.

Serve the pasta with grated pecorino cheese and a wedge of lemon on the side.
