You know I love my pasta dishes! This is a simple recipe and it’s full of flavor. I used grilled shrimp instead of cooking it stovetop because we like the added flavor it gives. I overall really liked the dish and would make this again.

Salt and pepper
1 pound linguine
6 tablespoons butter
1 small poblano chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons flour
1 ½ cups chicken stock
½ cup creme fraiche or mexican crema
1 pound medium shrimp
finely chopped fresh thyme, for garnishing
Grated parmigiano-reggiano, for passing around the table (optional)

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and cook it until al dente. Drain.

While the pasta is working, in a medium saucepan, melt 4 tbsp. butter over medium heat.

In a large skillet, melt the remaining 2 tbsp. butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until firm and pink; season with salt and pepper. (I just marinated some shrimp in seasoning and bbq sauce, then grilled them)
