Preparation

Cook linguine according to package directions until al dente; drain.

Meanwhile, mix 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the wine with cornstarch until smooth; set aside. In skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; cook shrimp, garlic, red pepper and red pepper flakes, stirring, for about 5 min or just until shrimp are opaque. Place in bowl; set aside.

Pour remaining wine into same pan; bring to boil, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pan. Boil for about 3 min or until liquid is reduced by half; add cream and return to boil. Whisk in cornstarch mixture; boil for 1 min.

Add shrimp mixture with any juices and toss to coat. Boil for 1 min or until sauce is thickened and shrimp are hot. Serve over linguine; sprinkle with dill.

Tips

For ease of preparation, buy shrimp that have the shell cut along the back and the vein removed.

For the Adventurous: Add hot pepper sauce or extra dried red pepper flakes to taste.
