lunchShrimp Pasta in White Wine Sauce
This white wine sauce is easy to make and pairs so well with seafood. The sauce is rich and creamy. The complex flavors will have you back in your kitchen making more! Don’t know which white wine to use? Try a dry white like Sauvignon Blanc, Charonnay, Pinot Grigio, or my favorite Dry Vermouth.

Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the nights they forgot to thaw anything, or when company is coming and there's no time to fuss over a long recipe.
Every recipe here is shrimp and pasta done a little differently — Shrimp Pasta in White Wine Sauce, Garlic Shrimp Linguine, Creamy Garlic Shrimp, Shrimp Scampi and Cream Sauce Linguini, and a light and fresh shrimp pasta with angel hair and lemon.
Quick Tips
- 1
Pat the shrimp dry
Blot shrimp with paper towels before they hit the pan so they sear instead of steam. Wet shrimp will water down your sauce.
- 2
Cook shrimp two minutes
Give them about 1 to 2 minutes per side, just until they curl into a C and turn pink. Pull them out and add them back at the end.
- 3
Save the pasta water
Reserve 1/2 cup of the starchy water before draining and stir it into the butter and garlic to make the sauce cling.
- 4
Let the wine cook down
Simmer the white wine 2 to 3 minutes before adding butter so the sharp edge cooks off and the flavor concentrates.
