Cook linguine pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Reduce heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Let it simmer gently for 3–4 minutes.
