1 lb wild caught U.S.A shrimp* uncooked with shells on**
½ cup low sodium organic chicken broth
2 tablespoons of Earth Balance Non Hydrogenated Margarine (we use this for all our cooking and baking needs in place of butter)
2 tablespoons of olive oil (virgin cold pressed) – (remember you can’t heat olive oil to a high temperature or it will smoke and burn)
6 cloves of chopped garlic
1/8 cup leftover white wine (completely optional)
1 lb of linguine (organically grown durum wheat from Italy)
Fresh loaf of bread to sop up the sauce
3 Sliced cucumbers to serve with dish
From prep to plate – 25 minutes (includes getting water to full boil and cooking pasta)
Non hydrogenated margarine
Begin to bring at least 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil while you begin to prepare the shrimp.
Peel shrimp and place just the shells in large sauté pan with chicken broth.
Over low to medium heat, sauté shells (approx 10 minutes) until they turn pink. Remove and discard shells. Leave just the broth in large sauté pan.
Add Earth Balance and olive oil. Gently sauté garlic. Add shrimp and turn once the bottom of the shrimp has begun to turn pink and the tails begin to curl.

**Several years ago a friend asked for this recipe. She phones a few days latter and said, “the dish just didn't taste right. It was all slippery and rubbery and it tasted bland." After a few questions, we realized she had purchased already cooked shrimp. So, please be patient if I provide too many details. I find it's helpful for those newbie cooks that are trying something new.
