I really like shrimp linguine, most of the kids do not, so last weekend when we had some kid-free time I made this Mediterranean Shrimp Linguine! It was so good… mmmm, mmm! The sauce for this Mediterranean Shrimp Linguine is chicken broth based and it doesn’t have a ton of cheese and NOT a drop of cream so it falls on the healthier side of Linguine’s!
