This dish has 3 parts: Shrimp; Scampi Sauce; Linguine.

PASTA: Prepare pasta by boiling in salted water 8-10 minutes until al dente.  Once pasta is cooked, drain and RESERVE 1/4 cup WATER! For a 'saucier' sauce, add a small amount of pasta water until you reach your desired sauce consistency -- this is optional! Drain and set aside. 

THAWED: QuickThaw shrimp and sauce packet in a bowl of water approx 15 min until thawed. Rinse and pat shrimp dry.  Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add sauce to skillet, then add shrimp and quickly saute until shrimp is opaque and cooked throughout, being careful not to overcook so shrimp stay tender. Toss shrimp scampi in linguine -- it is quite a lot of linguine... use as much as you'd like. Let the dish "rest" for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken a bit. Toss once more to evenly coat pasta with sauce. Add additional salt (or parmesan cheese!) to taste, if needed.
