Let’s Cook!
- Combine shrimp, minced garlic, and chicken broth in your slow cooker. Stir well.
- Cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
- While shrimp cooks, prepare linguine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Carefully remove cooked shrimp with a slotted spoon, reserving the broth in the slow cooker.
- Add cooked pasta to the slow cooker and stir to coat with the flavorful broth.
- Return shrimp to the slow cooker and gently toss with the pasta.
- Cover and cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes.
- Serve hot! Garnish with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley (optional).
Keto & Low-Carb Options
Love this recipe but following a keto or low-carb diet? Simply swap the linguine for zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash! You can also use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option. The delicious garlic shrimp flavor remains the star!
Pro Tips for Perfect Pasta
- Fresh shrimp tastes best, but frozen works too (thaw completely before cooking).
- Adjust garlic to your liking – add more for extra zing!
- Boost the flavor with a pinch of red pepper flakes or herbs like oregano or basil.
- Don’t overcook the shrimp! Overcooked shrimp becomes rubbery. Remove when pink and opaque.
- Feel free to experiment with different pasta shapes – penne, fettuccine, or shells would all be delicious!
