The title sounds fancy-schmancy, doesn’t it? Actually, this is one of the easiest pasta dishes you’ll ever make. Linguine Aglio e Olio simply means linguine with garlic and oil. I add a little white wine and lime juice to finish off the sauce.
The shrimp and artichoke hearts add extra flavor to the Linguine Aglio e Olio. You can also add mussels if you’d like.
I didn’t have any fresh mussels (members of several families of clams or bivalve mollusks). But they would have been really pretty in the photos.
Linguine Aglio e Olio
Linguine Aglio e Olio with Shrimp and Artichoke Hearts happens to be a favorite Saturday night dinner when it’s just my husband and me. It’s also the perfect meal for entertaining guests. Add a green salad and garlic bread and you’re good to go.
Helpful Hint: This dish is completely done in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients for Linguine Aglio e Olio
- linguini
- jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- artichoke hearts
- onion, chopped
- fresh garlic
- extra-virgin olive oil
- medium tomato
- dry white wine (or 1/4 cup pasta sauce)
- lime juice (or lemon, if you prefer)

Have I mentioned that I don’t care for parsley?
Parsley is usually left off as a garnish at my house. I just don’t love parsley. Instead, I use sauteed spinach leaves or chives. I always receive lots of compliments on this dish, so it seems I must be doing something right.

That Italian Sausage Rigatoni looks delicious! I’m a huge pasta lover. The linguine looked good, minus the artichokes for me! LOL. I’m not much in the way of those. Thanks for sharing!
Artichokes is one of those foods you either love or hate. I love um, but feel free to leave them off entirely. 😉
Any pasta dish with shrimp has my attention and yours looks especially yummy. Our favorite is a knock off of a Carrabba’s dish they used to call Pasta Weesie which Stacy makes. I’ll have to show him your recipe because I know he will want to make this one too!
I remember Pasta Weesie! My husband ordered it many times. Our family loves Carrabba’s – that bread and olive oil/herb dip – yum! I always order the Shrimp and Scallop Spiedino with a side of wilted spinach and garlic. Even when the spinach is not on the menu, they always make it for me. 🙂
This looks amazing. I love anything pasta. I can’t wait to try this recipe now!
Looks absolutely awesome! I am not a huge fan of seafood, but I have a friend who’s favorite food is shrimp so I know she would love this.
Looks so easy! I was just browsing online to find 30 minutes or less meals for a quick dinner. I don’t have much of the ingredients on hand to make it?

This Linguine Aglio e Olio with shrimp and artichokes would be something my family would love to try because they are seafood lovers. I don’t really like seafood but the Italian sausage rigatoni would be something I would love to try. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
