Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz linguini pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup shallots, finely chopped
- 1 cup dry white wine (such as sauvignon blanc)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh crab meat (lump or claw)
- 1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- zest of one lemon
- additional lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot and add the linguini. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic and shallots for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Pour in the white wine and deglaze the skillet by scraping the bottom. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it reduces by half.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Gently add the crab meat, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Warm through for around 2-3 minutes, ensuring not to break up the crab much.
- Incorporate the drained linguini into the skillet, gently tossing to coat with the creamy sauce.
- Remove from heat, then mix in the chopped parsley and lemon zest for freshness.
- Serve the creamy crab linguini, garnished with extra parsley and lemon wedges.
