I broke up the tomatoes in a mini food processor before adding them, I’m not a fan a big chunks of tomato. You can omit this step or if you’re not a fan you can keep this step. I thought it looked liked a better finished product also, if you’re going on eye appeal.
Add the crushed red pepper, a pinch or two of salt and the brown sugar. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Next add the half and half and don’t forget that extra splash 🙂 Add the parsley also. Bring to a slow boil and then immediately turn heat down to medium-low. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until mixture reduces by a third.
While this is reducing, cook your linguine according to package directions.

Lastly, add the shrimp, parmesan cheese and a little freshly ground black pepper. Cover and simmer for about 3 minutes until shrimp are heated through and the cheese is melted.
Add the linguine and simmer another 3-4 minutes.
Serve immediately and top with some more parmesan cheese and fresh cracked pepper. Enjoy!!
