Tropical Shrimp Scampi balances garlicky richness with bright citrus and a touch of pineapple sweetness, coating tender shrimp and linguine in a glossy, aromatic sauce. It’s lively and refreshing, with zesty notes of orange and lemon and a savory Parmesan finish. Ideal for a weeknight dinner or a light, sunny gathering.

1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the linguine and return it to a boil. Cook until the pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm, about 11 minutes.
2

While the pasta cooks, add the olive oil, pineapple juice, orange juice, orange zest, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and garlic to a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.
3

Pour the sauce into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and parsley; cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
4

Drain the linguini and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the shrimp and sauce over the pasta, then top with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
